Kabwe Warriors have bounced back to the Faz Super Division after rallying to beat City of Lusaka in a 3-2 in a Midlands derby at Railway Grounds in Kabwe on Saturday.
Warriors have been promoted with a game to spare after 33 games played on 67 points, four points more than second placed Nkwazi.
Nkwazi who lost 1-0 away to Livingstone Pirates over the weekend are now in a tight battle with Kafue Celtic for the second and final promotion slot from Division One South.
Celtic is third and one point behind Nkwazi on 62 points heading into this weekend’s final round of matches.
Nkwazi host Kascol Rangers while Celtic visits Chilenje Youth Academy in what is expected to be a photo finish for that final promotion slot from Division One South.
Meanwhile, Warriors join Division One North sides Lime Hotspurs and Kalulushi Modern Stars in the Faz Super Division for the 2013 season.
Both Warriors and Lime make a quick return to the Super Division after a season away while Modern Stars will end an 11-year absence from the top-flight.

Not that Andrew Kamanga again in premier league, life was better off without Kamanga.
just give the man credit, division 1 football in zambia is difficult. you should look at the big picture not what you are looking at.
Here comes magnificent people’s team Warriors.
Big ups Kabwe Warriors, hope all is well now we need to stay for long in the super Division great jog Andrew!!

This has reminded me of Late Richard Mwanza, Whiteson Changwe, Samuel Chomba, Timothy Mwitwa, Moses Masuwa, Geofrey Kangwa, Godfrey Ucar Chitalu, may their souls rest in peace. Good move lads. Try to recover the heat of Jack Chanda, Noel Chama, John Butcher Mwanza etc. I just wonder if the stadium is as beautiful as it used to be.
