Kasoleki happy to get game time

they could not be fielded because of problems with their work permits.
The delay in securing their work permits had divided the DeMbare camp with some factions claiming the move was being sabotaged in-house.
Kasoleki and Kabwe were registered for African Champions League campaign, but were never used in the opening three games.
The duo was also sidelined from the Castle Lager Premiership games although they had featured in a few pre-season friendlies.
But there was a silver lining during the weekend when an injury to chief striker Takesure Chinyama and the absence of Tineyi Chitora, who has been playing truant, presented an opportunity for the Zambians.
Kasoleki and Kabwe were introduced in the 60th minute as Callisto Pasuwa pulled out Rodreck Mutuma and Tawanda Muparati.
“After a long time of about five months without a game, we tried our best when we were finally given the chance.
“Unfortunately it was not our day,” said Kasoleki.
The Zambians were introduced as their side was trailing 1-0 before Denver Mukamba equalised in the 79th minute.
“We knew we had a very big task at hand. Our team had their own chances but we didn’t take them.
“At times we got into the box so many times but failed to score,” said Kasoleki.
Now that they had been given a run, Kasoleki hopes to start commanding a first team place.
“Everything is now set because we are now playing. I promise to do my best and help the team to achieve our targets for this season,” said Kasoleki.
It remains to be if Pasuwa will take another gamble and field the players during their league game against Shabanie at Maglas tomorrow.
