Precious Nyongolo scored twice as Balaka Police Eagles collected maximum points with a 5-0 thumping of Zomba Police Eagles in the Eastern Region Commissioner’s Trophy on Saturday.
Nyongolo opened the scoring at Balaka Stadium in the first half and completed his brace some minutes later.
The other goals for Balaka Eagles came from Isaac Saini, Mathews Lupiya and substitute Aubrey Kamala.
Speaking after the match, Balaka Police Officer In Charge who also happens to be the trophy’s Chairperson, Dan Sauteni, says the trophy will help to bring the men in uniform together and in turn improve their operations.
He then thanked the Eastern Region Commissioner of Police Violet Magwaya and Inspector General Merlyne Yolamu for their support towards sports which he said will help improve sporting activities inside the service.
“These sporting activities helps our officers to keep fit and this trophy in particular will help big teams like Blue Eagles FC which plays in the top flight league to identify players to play for the team,” he said.
Eastern region Commissioner of Police, Violet Magwaya launched the trophy last month with an aim of enhancing social cohesion between police officers and the community.
The Eastern policing region is the first to fulfill the national police sports initiative spearheaded by the Malawi Police Service.
