Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>New kids on the block, Nsingizini Hotspurs head coach Gerald Phiri has dedicated the inaugural MoMo Cup trophy to the team\u2019s supporters.<\/b><\/p>\n

This comes after his charges overcame Moneni Pirates 2-1 in the finals played yesterday at the Somhlolo National Stadium, taking home E600 000. “I’m so happy with the win. I dedicate the trophy to the supporters after they voted the team to the MoMo Cup. I would like to thank the players and president of the club for their support,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The Malawi-born coach said it was not easy to defeat Pirates since they were one-man down for prolonged stages of the match.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the runner-up coach, Coaster Magongo, said they tried their best. “We tried our best. We conceded a silly penalty in the added time that saw us losing the match. All in all, nothing is lost. We will come back stronger and we have a team that compete in the league ,” he said.<\/p>\n

The ‘sea robbers’ walked home with E350 000 for being runners-up of the inaugural tournament.<\/p>\n
