Arrows have won their eighth consecutive league title after attaining an unassailable lead over second placed Leopards. With two games left in the season, Leopards are 15 points behind Arrows.<\/p>\n

In an interview, Magasa said Leopards needed to be at their best to win the league. \u201cIt is unfortunate. Of course we would have wanted to win the league but I guess it wasn\u2019t to be. We played as much as we could, we tried everything,\u201d Magasa said.<\/p>\n

He promised that Leopards will come back stronger next season to challenge champions Arrows for the title. \u201cWe will get back to the drawing board again. We will win the league. Our fight is not stopping here,\u201d Magasa said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
