‘DAZZA’ FLIES WITH ‘BIRDS’

(At Somhlolo National Stadium)

LOBAMBA – Dazzling winger, Darren ‘Dazza’ Christie has dazzled his way back into his team, Mbabane Swallows’ nest.

After apologising to the team’s technical bench, players, Management Committee (MC) and the directors, the gifted wing wizard resumed training with the Mbabane giants yesterday morning at the Prince of Wales Ground before joining the rest of his teammates during the afternoon training session at Somhlolo National Stadium.

The news is likely to be met with exceeding joy by the throngs of Swallows supporters, as the speedy forward was badly missed by the Champions League-bound side.

Interviewed after the training session at the national stadium yesterday afternoon, the player confirmed that he was back with his beloved side after apologising.
“What is in the past should be in the past. I am happy to be back because I love this team and I am sorry to everyone who might have been offended,” said the player often times referred to as one with diamonds on the soles of his boots because of his ball artistry. Swallows acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Sibusiso Manana declined to commit himself on the player’s presence at training, opting to say that Darren has always been their player.

Christie, although evidently still struggling with fitness after going Absent Without Official Leave (AWOL) for almost three weeks, still showed flashes of brilliance though during their practise match at training.

Training was conducted by new Swallows Zambian coach, Chris ‘Gazza’ Tembo, who first took the players through a vigorous physical workout for about one hour 30 minutes before dividing the players into two groups for a half ground game.
Chrisie, who was first sidelined, was then introduced towards the end of the game, where he operated in his favourite right flank and made a fool of the defenders with his ball trickery.

He will be available on Sunday when Swallows clash against National First Division League ensemble, Hellenic at Somhlolo National Stadium. He has missed two official games since going AWOL, the 5-3 win over Sea Birds and the 1-1 draw against Moneni Pirates, which as played last Saturday at Mayaluka Stadium.
