Prisons XI struggle to keep-sup

Last season, Prisons XI under Stanley Mwaanga was among the promotion favourites right from the start of the First Division South League. They fought hard but eventually missed promotion at the play-offs stage. This time, they have not been convincing and unless they mount a late charge, they will still be playing in the dusty grounds next season.

After Mwaanga's departure to BDF XI, little was done to quickly find a suitable replacement. Though he led Prisons XI to a second place finish behind Naughty Boys, he was a disgruntled man. He quit after accusing the management of not doing enough to support him and the players.  A few Prison warders with little coaching experience were left in charge of the team and some have pointed out that this is a clear sign of lack of seriousness from the management.

By the Christmas break, Prisons XI was sitting at position six, not bad considering that the second round has not started yet. But for a team which dropped from the Premier League two seasons ago and with the resources from government, they should have been in the top three by now.
