The 2025/26 Eden University Women Super League delivered yet another thrilling weekend, with 20 goals scored across nine fiercely contested fixtures. From late winners to relegation shake-ups, Matchweek 8 proved decisive as both the title race and bottom battle intensified.
Zesco Ndola Girls Maintain Winning Streak, Sit 3rd
Defending champions Zesco Ndola Girls clinched a dramatic 1-0 victory over 7th-placed Zanaco Ladies courtesy of an 88th-minute strike from red-hot forward Avell Chitundu.

Nchanga Rangers Hit Bottom-Placed ZISD for Five

Konkola Blades Back in Form, Move to 6th
After midweek disappointment, Konkola Blades Queens bounced back with a 2-0 win over National Assembly Women, who remain 16th in the drop zone. The three points push Blades into 6th position, consolidating their mid-table push.
