Following their recently reported elimination from the Airtel Top 8, FCB Nyasa Big Bullets are turning their attention back to the FDH Bank Premiership, according to the club's official website. The team will host Ekhaya FC at Mpira Stadium on Sunday, July 19, just a week after Ekhaya knocked them out of the cup tournament in a penalty shootout.
