Diggers secretary, Chileshe Bweupe said in an interview in Kitwe yesterday that M and E Trading have been given naming rights for the second edition of the tournament after contributing about 70 percent of what the organisers had budgeted for event. Bweupe said Diggers was greatly indebted to M and E Trading and supporting sponsors Mopani Copper Mines, MTN Zambia, Manzi Valley and<\/p>\n<p>JVC Limited for bankrolling the one-day tournament. The tournament, which was inaugurated last year, is held in honour of Diggers life member Bonnie Mutale who had a long illustrious career as a Diggers player starting in 1967. Mutale was one of the first indigenous Zambians to have penetrated in the all-whites Diggers side.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<fieldset>\n<legend align=\"center\"><strong>More News on allAfrica.com<\/strong><\/legend>\n<\/fieldset>\n<p>AllAfrica &#8211; All the Time<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>Originally posted here:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/allafrica.com\/stories\/201106061516.html\" title=\"Arrows Start Sevens Tourney Defence\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arrows Start Sevens Tourney Defence<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> 4 June 2011 RED Arrows start their defence of the M and E Trading Bonnie Mutale Sevens rugby tournament title this morning with a tricky Group A match against Prisons at Diggers grounds in Nkana West, Kitwe.
