Chitipa United Football Club which is anchoring the TNM Super League log table seeks to take advantage of the three-week suspension of the league to iron out some of its problems.
Chitipa United
The team has only four points from nine games. It has scored eight goals and let in 21 goals. Chitipa United has so far proved to be the weakest super league side in the northern region compared to Ekwendeni Hammers which is enjoying a debut season and is currently on position two, Karonga United (position 9), Moyale Barracks (position 13) and Mzuzu Warriors (position 15).
Following Covid-19 preventive measures laid down by government with guidance from the Presidential Task Force on Covid-19, the Super League of Malawi (SULOM) suspended the league for a period of three weeks. Chitipa united says it will use this period to sort its in-house problems.

The Zomba-based Red Lions, who have come back into the top flight league after a year in the second tier Premier Division, beat Lilongwe-based Kamuzu Barracks (KB) with goals from Ronald Pangani and an OG from Sam Chibvunde while KB hit back through Zeliat Nkhoma.
New-comers in the country’s top flight league, Ekwendeni Hammers, are now on position four on the log table after a convincing 3-nil victory over rivals Mzuzu Warriors in a Mzuzu City derby that took place on Saturday at Mzuzu Stadium.
Ekwendeni Hammers
Hammers made their intent clear right from the first whistle as they attacked more and dominated play with purposeful passes especially in the midfield where they featured Omega Mhone, Blessings Singini, Robert Sulitha and Brian Phiri giving tough time to the Warriors defence with dangerous penetrating balls.
In the 14th minute, a cutting pass by Omega Mhone found Joseph Mbewe in the 18 metre box and his thunderous shot was reached by Warriors goalkeeper Leonard Manda with a visible determined stretch but the ball slipped off his hands and kissed the net.1 nil.
