OYDC Zambia programmes officer Likemore Mahunje says the preparation for the much anticipated grand finale is progressing well stating that all those who have been outstanding during the league will be rewarded.

He says in the next two weeks the other seven sports codes out of the total eleven will also finish their league games.

He paid gratitude to all the teams which came to participate on Saturday and came as far as Chongwe district.
