1703: That is is for today. Highlanders' fine run continues as they dent ZPC Kariba's form with a 2-1 win over Sunday Chidzambwa's side. CAPS United are 2-1 winners over Bulawayo City who feel hard done as they believe their first goal was NOT an offside and Mutare City's 24th minute goal over hosts Hwange was enough to silence thet hosts.

CAPS United v Bulawayo City

CAPS United striker Leonard Tsipa: Right now I feel good as strikers have to deliver for the team to win. Hard work pays. We are training hard and that is giving us results as a team. We have quality and give 100 percent if given a chance to play.

Mtulisi Mapohosa Bulawayo City: I thought we are now playing professional soccer in Zimbabwe. Can't even explain how that was an offside. We have to go back to the drawing board and maybe something positive will come out.

1440: Highlanders winger Rahman Kutsanzira believes his side can put a stop to ZPC Kariba’s good run against Bosso this afternoon at Barbourfields.

 “Enough is enough, they have been dominating us for long now and we need to put a stop to that, however I also know that it’s going to be a tough game but this is football, no one has a right to continue dominating another, we saw it in Harare recently,” said Kutsanzira.

1435: After getting his first goal for CAPS United, Simba Nhivi – who is part of the side travelling to Bulawayo for a date against Bulawayo City – believes his goal against Mutare City is the beginning of a new capter.

“Morale in camp is very high, everyone is happy and the performance at training is very encouraging and we hope to get a good result against Bulawayo City. As a striker you are bought to score goals and when you don’t score goals morale will be low.

“The goal I scored against Mutare City has given me a morale-boost going into the weekend game against Bulawayo City I hope to continue scoring more goals if given the opportunity to play,” said Nhivi.
