Moses Chunga’s national Under 17 team got off to a heartbreaking start to the COSAFA Championships when they lost 0-1 to hosts Mauritius at the Stade St Francois Xavier on Saturday.

"The team lacked cohesion," Chunga told SportsZone in a brief chat after the game.

The Young Warriors are in Group A which also features Botswana and Malawi.

They play Malawi on Monday in their second match before clashing against Botswana on Wednesday.
