After the match Bullets defender Frank Willard was voted man of the match while striker Babatunde Adepoju received an award for finishing as top goal scorer with five goals.
Speaking in a post match interview, Nyasa Big Bullets coach Kalisto Pasuwa admitted that it was a tough game and praised his boys for putting up a spirited performance.
His counterpart Enos Chatama accepted defeat saying Bullets were just better than the junior team.
He said, “In the first half we played very well but in the second half Bullets came stronger on us. We lost a lot of possession especially in the midfield; Our colleagues were just better than us and they deserve the victory. Congratulations to them.”
