The battle for seven million kwacha Malawi Schools Sports Associations (MASSA) Copa Coca cola tournament 2013 came to its very last Sunday at Mzuzu Stadium.

 Central West Education Division (CWED) emerged paramount when they out weighed their counterparts South East Education Division (SEED) in penalty shoot outs.

The match was goalless at the end of the official time. In penalty round CWED managed to put at the back of the net 4 balls against their counterparts 2 balls.

Speaking after the match coach for the winning CWED team, Charles Senti Banda said he was very overwhelmed with the victory.

“The competition was tough despite us clinching on its very tip,” he said.

Banda also thanked all contesting teams for their courage. He described his team’s victory towards mature and proper preparations.

Efforts to hear from SEED side proved futile.

In his remarks Minister of Youth and Sports Honorable Enock Chakufwa Chihana thanked Carlsberg Malawi breweries for the sponsorship.

He thanked the company for reaching out to where the government’s budget fails to reach out to.

The Minister has therefore called upon other companies and stakeholders to lead by example in supporting sports activities in the country. 

In his remarks a Marketer at Coca cola Gwinith Nchiyela thanked government for support. She also thanked MASSA for proper management of the tournament.

Nchiyela described MASSA Copa Coca cola football competition as a platform where Football Associations of Malawi scouts players.

CWED walked away with k400, 000 money prize and on second position SEED pocketed K200, 000. 

CWED have become MASSA Copa Coca cola cup champions for five times since the cup inception 45 years ago.
