Nkana Queens played their first match last Sunday when losing 7-2 to Indeni away in Ndola. The Kitwe side is missing six banned players led by Captain Grace Kapansa.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have learnt a lot of lessons from the suspension after that incident,\u201d Nkana Queens Team Manager Christopher Mwewa said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe drew 1-1 with Indeni in the first round match but on Sunday the suspension of our six players negatively affected the performance. We only trained for a few days after being told by FAZ that we can start playing our games last Wednesday,\u201d Mwewa said. Mwewa is now appealing to FAZ to reduce the six player\u2019s ban.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
