Napsa capped off their spectacular season by winning the FA Cup after beating Zambian Super League current champions Red Arrows to lift their second-ever cup title.

Elsewhere, Harambee Stars goalkeeper Ian Otieno has been named Zesco United’s most consistent player in recently concluded Zambian Super League season.

The Kenyan goalkeeper who let in the fewest goals in the season was among those who were dully crowned during the end of season awards.

Otieno conceded 22 goals in 34 matches he played, the fewest in the Zambian Super League.
