Silver Strikers F.C.

The early years (1977–1989)

Reserve Bank of Malawi was headquartered in Blantyre and its football team played in the fourth tier of the Blantyre and Districts Football League (BDFL). The bankers promoted quickly to the 3rd Division and finished as runners-up gained promotion to the 2nd Division the following season. They went on to earn promotion to 1st Division in their maiden 2nd Division season, this time as Champions. Reserve Bank of Malawi Head Office was transferred to Lilongwe, and with them went their football team. In Lilongwe, they started off the 1980 season in the Lilongwe and Districts Football League (LDFL) where existing greats of that region – Civo United, CCDC FC (Capital City Development Corporation) and Mitco FC, were already in fierce battles. It didn't take long for the bankers to establish themselves in the Central Region as the legendary Young Chimodzi was coaxed to join them from CCDC FC. Dickson Mbetewa followed from Mitco FC, through the advice of Chimodzi, Stain Chirwa, Donnex Gondwe and Davie Maleta amongst several others. In 1985, the team won the Lilongwe and Districts Football League (LDFL) championship and as per tradition then had to participate in the National Championship which it won convincingly with seven wins in nine games. In addition to this, they reached two cup finals, losing both to Wanderers in the Kamuzu Cup by 2–0 in a replay after a 1–1 draw in first leg; and 1–0 in the Sportsman Cup Final. This was later to be rewarded…
