Dar es Salaam, April 19 -- Simba and Young Africans coaches have expressed anger on the tight Mainland Premier League fixtures, saying it is not healthy for players. Simba Head Coach Patrick Aussems lamented tight fixture, saying it was unrealistic for his charges to play eight matches in 19 days.

"It is tricky to play eight league matches in 19 days, which involve travelling to Tanga, Kagera, Mwanza, Mbeya and Morogoro. In fact, it is not healthy for players because they will have little or no time to recover in between matches," he said. However, Aussems was pleased with his side's hard fought 2-1 victory over Coastal Union in the Mainland Premier League match on Wednesday.
