Masters Security Southern Region Football Association (SRFA) Premier Division side Prison United on Saturday became the latest team to cause an upset in the Carlsberg Cup when they pipped TNM Super league side Epac FC 1-0 in Zomba.
Prison’s win completed the last 16 of the tournament. They will now face fellow second-tier league side Zomba United.
