Katwila: Mtibwa Sugar will fight to keep league status

Mtibwa Sugar coach Zuberi Katwila has stated they will strive to win all their remaining matches when the Mainland Premier League returns to avoid being relegated.

The Sugar Millers are among the teams fighting to stay afloat in the top-flight, which is set to resume on June 13 after President John Pombe Magufuli gave them the green light.

The league was suspended in mid-March owing to the coronavirus pandemic but will now return after sporting activities were allowed to resume in the country.
