na Mwandishi wetu

MAKAMU mwenyekiti wa Chama cha Netiboli Tanzania (CHANETA) Shy-Rose Bhanji kesho anatarajia kukabidhi kitita cha sh mil. 1.1 jijini Dar es Salaam kwa ajili ya timu nne zilizopanda daraja katika mashindano ya Ligi daraja la pili yaliyomalizika hivi karibuni Mjini Morogoro.
Akizungumza jijini Dar es Salaam jana Kaimu Katibu Mkuu wa Chaneta, Rose Mkisi, alisema Bhanji ameamua kutoa fedha hizo ikiwa ni ishara ya kutambua juhudi zao na kuleta hamasa kwa timu nyingine kujituma kama hizo zilizopanda daraja.
Mkisi alisema Bhaji alitakiwa kuwa mgeni rasmi wa kufunga mashindano hayo lakini alishindwa kufika kutokana na kukabiliwa na majukumu ya kazi badala yake aliwasiliana na viongozi na kutoa ahadi ya kutoa kiasi hicho cha fedha.
Alisema Mbeya iliyokuwa ya kwanza itapata sh 500,000, Polisi Arusha iliyoshika nafasi ya pili itapewa sh 300,000 huku timu za Polisi Pwani iliyoshika nafasi ya tatu na JKT Ruvu iliyokuwa ya nne kila mmoja atapata sh 200,000.
Aidha, Bhanji alitoa pongezi kwa timu zote zilizoshiriki mashindano hayo na kuahidi kutoa ushirikiano na kutambua mchango wao katika kuendeleza mchezo huo hapa nchini.
Mashindano hayo ya ligi daraja la pili yalianza kurindima mjini Morogoro, kuanzia Februari 16-Februari 26 ambapo Manispaa ya jiji la Mbeya wameibuka na ushindi wa mashindano hayo.

Gareth Barry admits Manchester City have seen their Premier League title dreams dashed for another year.
The ambitious Blues have every intention of taking the crown sooner rather than later, with an expensively-assembled squad expected to deliver the goods.

It will, however, be 2011/12 at the earliest before the Blues get their hands on the trophy, with their challenge seemingly over this term.
A 1-1 draw in a lacklustre encounter with Fulham on Sunday has left City 10 points adrift of league leaders Manchester United.
They have also played a game more than the Red Devils, forcing England international Barry to concede that the title is now out of reach.
He said: "It was strange. The atmosphere wasn't really there. Everybody seemed to be waiting for everybody else to do something.
"Once we got the goal, I thought it would kick-start us and we would go and get another one.
"But then they scored and we found it difficult to break them down.
"If you are going to challenge for the title, you have to win games like this at home."
Safely wrapping up a top-four finish is the now the priority for City, although productive runs in the FA Cup and Europa League continue to provide a welcome distraction.
Barry added: "The cup competitions have been important to us all season, although fourth spot in the league is our main target."

Carlos Vela snatched a controversial equaliser three minutes from time to give West Brom a 1-1 draw against Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.
The on-loan Mexico international appeared to have been offside before he converted Steven Reid's cross but there was no flag and the Baggies escaped with a point which lifted them out of the Premier League's bottom three.
Midfielder Rory Delap's second goal of the season had put the hosts ahead in the 53rd minute in what had been an uninspiring game up to that point.
West Brom seemed to have undone all their hard work in hanging on in the early stages by switching off at a crucial time to allow the 34-year-old to take full advantage.

But in a spirited climax Roy Hodgson's side proved they have the appetite and spirit for a relegation fight and in truth they could have snatched the win as it was Stoke hanging on at the end.
Hodgson is still awaiting his first victory after taking two points from his first two matches since succeeding Roberto Di Matteo.
The criticism of the Italian was that his style was too open - Hodgson inherited the worst defensive record in the top flight - but old habits die hard and there remains plenty of work to be done if the Baggies are to survive with 10 matches remaining.
Hodgson tried to find a solution in the short term by bringing in the likes of Abdoulaye Meite for his first league appearance in nearly a year, setting up his team to cope with the physical battle he anticipated they would come under but the Baggies were keen to get their retaliation in first.
Striker Marc-Antoine Fortune escaped with no more punishment than a free-kick for flooring Danny Pugh with a leading arm but Youssuf Mulumbu gave referee Michael Oliver plenty of warning of his intentions, chasing back 40 yards to chop down Kenwyne Jones after losing possession to the striker, and was duly booked.
Jermaine Pennant forced a decent save from Scott Carson, making his first appearance since January 4, and the winger proved to be Stoke's main threat - Delap's long throw apart - in the first half.
But the closest he came to breaking the deadlock was just before the interval when he curled a free-kick on to the top of the angle of post and crossbar.
West Brom may have the top flight's leakiest defence but they regularly pose a threat in the final third.
Graham Dorrans and Fortune both tested Asmir Begovic with shots from the left and right of the penalty area respectively while Paul Scharner should have at least done the same just before the interval but bobbled a 16-yard volley wide.
There was little quality on show in the first half and after the interval glitches even crept into Delap's reliable delivery, with the midfielder throwing one effort straight out for a goal-kick.
Fortunately his close-range radar was unaffected and it was he who finally rose above the mediocrity - and Dorrans - to head home Pennant's 53rd-minute corner from three yards.
Delap's free header at the near post was symptomatic of the problems West Brom have experienced this season.
The goal finally injected some life into the game, with Brunt (twice) and Stoke's Jon Walters both worrying their opposing goalkeepers with shots from distance.
Begovic was the busier of the two goalkeepers, saving Dorrans' header with his legs after it deflected wickedly off Ryan Shawcross while watching helplessly as Fortune's looping header dropped onto the crossbar and over.
West Brom pressed for an equaliser but often they were guilty of trying too hard, with substitute Somen Tychoyi blazing well over from the edge of the penalty area.
But the visitors had a stroke of luck three minutes from time with their equaliser.
Reid swung in a right-wing cross and substitute Vela poked the ball past Begovic from close range despite appearing to have benefited from coming back from an offside position.
There was still enough time for Begovic to be required to make three crucial saves as West Brom sensed a late shock.
Vela proved you cannot write off West Brom with the chances they create but if they are to achieve top-flight survival it is the other end of the pitch they have to work on.

Liverpool defender Martin Kelly has been ruled out for a month with a torn hamstring sustained at the weekend.

FOXSOCCER.TV

​

The home of the best LIVE soccer and rugby awaits at FoxSoccer.tv -- don't miss a second of the action.

The 20-year-old has been an ever-present on the right side of defence in the Premier League since Kenny Dalglish took over as manager in early January.
However, the academy graduate limped off in Sunday's 3-1 defeat at West Ham and will be sidelined for four weeks.
The only consolation for Kelly is that March is a relatively quiet month for the Reds and he is likely to miss Sunday's visit of Manchester United, both legs of Europa League last-16 tie against Portugal's Braga and the trip to Sunderland on March 20.

Bowyer braced for Birmingham exit

Birmingham have told midfielder Lee Bowyer he will not be offered a new contract when his current deal expires this summer.
Bowyer was one of Birmingham's star players in their shock Carling Cup final victory over Arsenal at Wembley on Sunday.
But the 34-year-old has confirmed he is looking for a new club, although he is clinging to the hope Birmingham may have a change of heart.


When asked if he was to be offered a new contract, Bowyer said: "I think at the moment the club have said 'no'.
"That is not going to happen so I'll be looking elsewhere.
"I wanted to stay anyway, irrespective of what happened at Wembley.
"They might change their mind and keep me on, you never know. But that is up to the club.
"It is out of my hands. All I can do is try to put on performances."
Bowyer, who joined Birmingham two years ago from West Ham, believes he is still good enough to play in the Premier League.
He said: "I feel good. I'm 34. Because of your age, people still question whether you can still get box to box, if you can still do what you used to do.
"But I think I showed against Arsenal that I obviously can.
"I've scored important goals this season, against Chelsea, Manchester United and in the semi-final against West Ham.
"I've also got a good track record in Europe as well, I've scored quite a few goals in Europe.


"I've been doing it my whole career. Nothing has changed, apart from my age. I've just got older and wiser and just tried to calm down.
"My deal is done here in the summer at Birmingham. I can still do the business so we will see what happens."
Bowyer added: "We will see what happens in the summer.
"I am still hungry, I think I have got another couple of years and then...I don't know.
"But, if next summer I wake up one day and I suddenly feel like I don't enjoy it, that will be it.
"It won't alter the way I play. I always give my all. I'm the same, no matter where I have been.
"I don't think anyone who I have worked with, or a fan, could say that they have never seen me give 100%.
"That's the way I am, the way I play and train."
If Bowyer does leave, he will at least be able to look back on the first medal he has won during his lengthy career.
He said: "It was my first final, I've been in a lot of semi-finals. Thankfully I've got a medal now and it is the right one.
"In the past, when I was at Leeds, everyone put us down to win this, that and the other in terms of trophies and it never happened.
"I'm just thankful and I've had a taste of it.
"I remember (former Leeds manager) David O'Leary saying to me, 'It is not how much money you earn, it is the medals you get', and that is the most important thing.
"I can go home and show my kids I've won a medal and not a lot of people can do that."
