Barts, a National League side in Zambia, has suffered relegation to the Provincial Division 1 after losing to Konkola Blades. This defeat leaves them with only 25 points and they join Lusaka Dynamos who were demoted last week. The match that sealed Barts' fate took place on Sunday at Chililabombwe’s Konkola Stadium, where they were beaten 3-1 by Konkola Blades, who are still chasing promotion. Barts have had a difficult season, having only won five out of 31 games played. They managed to draw 10 games and lost 16, scoring a total of 19 goals while conceding 40. With Barts and Lusaka Dynamos both relegated, two other clubs will also face demotion. Mpulungu Harbour, Kafue Celtic, Aguila, and Atletico Lusaka are all in danger, separated by only one point. Jumulo and Livingstone Pirates, with 38 points each, may also be dragged into the relegation battle depending on the outcome of the final three or four matches. This is a tough time for Barts, but relegation can be a chance to regroup and come back stronger. It's not the end of the road for them, and with the right strategy, they can bounce back to the National League
