Ntopwa FC, owned and managed by Osman Jomo, have painted a groomy picture of their trip to the North where they are scheduled to play two games in the TNM Super League this weekend.
The Amaghetto, from the populous Bangwe Township, are expected to play Ekwendeni Hammers and Mzuzu Warriors at the Mzuzu Stadium but Jomo told the media on Thursday that their trip is doubtful due to financial problems.

“We are talking of sourcing up to K1.8 million for the two Mzuzu fixtures and to be honest with you, l don’t even have such kind of money as of today. We will need food, accommodation, fuel and a bus,” Osman said.
Silver Strikers go-getters Maxwell Gasten and Staine Davie lead the chase for the Golden Boot at 9 and 8 goals respectively while the Bankers have extended their lead on the TNM Super League to 6 points at 31.
The Bankers now have a challenger up their sleeve as champions Nyasa Big Bullets at 25 points have dramatically risen from the middle tier to become new runners-up.
The Bullets have also played one less game at 12, with three left to wrap up the first round while Silver have played 13 with two left meaning the Bankers have to win at least one game and draw the other of the remaining two games to lead the first round.
Silver Strikers FC have made a statement of intent to campaign for TNM Super League title as they dislodged Civil Sporting Club on the summit of the log-table on Monday following their 4-0 victory against TN Stars at the Silver stadium.

The bankers took the lead through Maxwell Phodo after 20 minutes in the first half from a Duncan Nyoni’s assist.
Phodo, who is a darling to the Area 47 giants ,was at it again with his second goal.
With three minutes before recess time, Phodo completed his hattrick bringing the tally to 8 goals with his second hattrick of the season.
