Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>AS one way to keep the squad vibrant, Premier League leaders Young Africans play a friendly match against the First League toppers, Mbuni at Sheikh Amri Abeid Stadium in Arusha today.<\/p>\n

The signal-testing match is used as part and of their preparations for a tough encounter against Polisi Tanzania at Ushirika Stadium in Moshi on Sunday which serves as their 13th match of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Until now, Yanga are the only side yet to taste the bitter pill of loss in the ongoing league after winning 10 of their 12 played games as they intensify their race towards the Premier League\u2019s diadem.<\/p>\n
