BP, sugar issues induce quick changes to Zambian grannies’ team

ZAMBIAN grannies this afternoon chameleoned around Nkowankowa Stadium and went down 1 – 0 to Limpopo Province’s Northern Stars grannies.
 
Team doctor Major Charity Sitimela and physiotherapist Enock Kahalu have been as watchful as a new bank security officer on night shift, to ensure that the grannies are healthy enough to run around the pitch.
 
It is with their recommendation that some players could not play today, on account of high blood pressure and sugar-related concerns.
 
The left out players were seen cheering their counterparts from the grand stand where they sat.
 
The Zambian grannies, who are participating in the Mama Beka Grannies International Football Tournament (GIFT), looked like a potent side, especially in the first half.
 
Goalkeeper Belinda Mulenga saved a penalty but would, in the second half of the match, fail to contain a corner strike by a Northern Stars granny.
 
Throughout the 50 minutes of play, South Africans in the terraces loudly cheered their team.
 
Coach Collins Muma made one or two substitutions to sort of improve the game, but nothing much changed.
Captain of the side Lillian Zulu, a striker, displayed brilliance on several occasions.
 
In a post-match interview, Muma said: “we had to make quick adjustments which it didn’t work in our favour. But the grannies performed well, especially in the first half. We had two clear cuts, but unfortunately we couldn’t convert them into goals.”
 
The Zambian grannies will tomorrow play another South African team of grannies.
 
NOTE: Zambian grannies are in a green jersey
