THE ZIFA Eastern Region Division One race is set for a chaotic ending as the league authorities continue to dither on the fate of the aborted league match pitting title chasing Yadah Stars FC and Prime Rangers.

Although unconfirmed reports indicate that the Prophet Walter Magaya owned Yadah Stars have already been awarded maximum points, the Eastern Region is yet to pass the verdict.

Yadah Stars are on 60 points, three behind log leaders Buffaloes and will eclipse the army side on goal difference if they are awarded the game.

The ill-fated match was abandoned in the 86th minute three weeks ago when Prime Rangers who were leading 1-0 vehemently protested against the referee’s decision to award Yadah Stars a penalty.

Police intervened and advised the referees to abandon the match or else proceed at their own risk.

This became the second match inside one month involving Yadah Stars FC that was abandoned and once again a boardroom decision will have to be made.

A day after the abandonment of the Yadah Stars, Prime Rangers  match, ZIFA Eastern Region chairman, Davison Muchena, confirmed that they had received reports from match officials and a committee would sit down with the concerned parties to deliberate on the issue before making public their decision the following Sunday.

The following week, Muchena failed to announce the decision on the abandoned encounter saying his executive had decided to forward their deliberations and final decision to the association’s legal practitioners for guidance.

Muchena is still to come out in the open to announce their decision although it is now widely believed that they have already awarded three points to Yadah Stars.

Repeated efforts to get a comment from Muchena have been fruitless as both his mobile phones were either unreachable or went unanswered.

Contacted for comment Zifa Eastern Region Secretary Simba Wisdom referred all questions to Muchena.

Interestingly, last week Muchena circulated the referee and the match commissioner’s report on the aborted match but allegedly held back the police report.

In the police report on the same issue, a Sergeant Kapandasaru wrote “This led to a stoppage of over 30 minutes until I intervened and enquired with the match commissioner who indicated that the referee cannot continue with the match as he feared for his safety.

“I assured him that we had enough police officers to make sure that the match resumed and HE TOLD ME THAT THE LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ALLOWING THE GAME TO CONTINUE”.
