Dedza Based Teams Lead the Way in TVM Division 1 League

Dedza-based sides in the TVM Division One League, Chimbiya Stars and Lobi Young Soccer, have made strong starts in their opening five games of the season.

Chimbiya Stars, who are making their debut in the league after winning the district championship last season, lead the standings with 13 points. Lobi Young Soccer follow closely in second place with 12 points, with both sides drawn in Group A.

Chimbiya Stars began their campaign with a goalless draw against Simbi FC and have since secured four consecutive victories. Lobi Young Soccer, on the other hand, started with a disappointing loss to Play Football Malawi but bounced back impressively to record four straight wins of their own.

Patron for Chimbiya Stars, Stampa Malu Chisoni, expressed delight with the team’s performance in their debut season.

“This is a great motivation for us because our dream is to play in the Premier Division, and the results have given us hope that we will fulfil that dream,” said Chisoni.

He also praised Lobi Young Soccer for their strong showing, saying both teams are proudly putting Dedza on the football map.

Meanwhile, Lobi Young Soccer head coach, Alexander Kanthenga, said his team is improving with each match and hopes the progress continues as the league advances.

“This is a different competition, but my team is adapting well at the moment,” said Kanthenga.

Both teams have appealed for more support from the Dedza community to help sustain their performances throughout the league.

Last season, Chimbiya Stars and Lobi Young Soccer were competing in the Saint Louis High School Dedza District Football League.
