Shining Stars chairman Daisy Tseka believes this season could be one of the most competitive in recent memory.
'This league is on fire right now,' Daisy, said.
'The quality, the hunger, the passion – it's unmatched. Every team is bringing their best, but make no mistake, Shining Stars are here to light up this league. We're not just aiming for the top – we're ready to take it.'
