Ceasiaa Queens target top 3 in TWPL second round

IRINGA: AS the Tanzania Women’s Premier League (TPWL) season enters into the second round, the flagbearers of Iringa region, Ceasiaa Queens are targeting to finish in the top three of the league standing.

Ceasiaa Queens are set to face the league leaders Simba Queens of Dar es salaam on March 13th when they kick off their second round league campaign at their home ground Mkwawa in Iringa Municipality.

The team’s Head Coach, Noah Kanyaga believes that despite being left far behind by points by Simba and JKT Queens who are settled in the second slot of the league log, they will ensure that they close the gap during the forthcoming match in Iringa.

Kanyaga said they are determined to fight to see they finish the league among the top three teams and their campaign will kick off in the second round where they are eager to see they get positive and collect maximum points to achieve their goal.

“Though we lost our previous match against JKT Queens in the closing of the first round of the league, that served as a lesson to help us correct the mistakes,” said Coach Kanyaga.

Currently, the Iringa ladies are in the rather respectable fourth place in the ongoing league with 16 points and are targeting the campaign by earning vital points when they host Simba Queens at their home ground Mkwawa.
