Dynamos are still not up to scratch but they are a team that can grow into real competitors, How Mine coach Kelvin Kaindu said soon after his How Mine defeated DeMbare 1-0 at the National Sports on Thursday.

Former Chicken Inn super sub Toto Banda scored just before half time.

The defeat left Dynamos 13th on the log with four points from as many games while How Mine shot to seventh position as many points.

“This is not the Dynamos that I know but all the same they have a good team that needs to be supported,” said Kaindu.

Dynamos missed five key players Denver Mukamba, Ocean Mushure, Obey Mwerahari, Gift Saunyama and the Cameroonian Ntouba, all through injury.

In Bulawayo, Black Rhinos continued with a fine return to the Premiership with a shock 1-0 win over Chicken Inn at Luveve.

Cliff Chitsamba was on target for Rhinos who had keeper Herbert Rusawo to thank.
