POOR drainage system at Barbourfields Stadium has forced the cancellation of the potentially explosive ZNA Commander’s Charities Shield semifinal match between Highlanders and FC Platinum set for the same venue on Sunday.

The other equally enticing semifinal tie pitting old foes Dynamos and Caps United at the giant National Sports Stadium roars into life Sunday afternoon with fireworks expected.

Brigade public relations officer Lieutenant Brian Muchero said the postponed match will now be played on March 12 at the same venue with the final, initially scheduled for March 5, now taking place on March 26.

“The 2017 Commander ZNA Charities Shield soccer semi-final match between Highlanders and FC Platinum that was scheduled for 26 February 2017 at Barbourfields Stadium in Bulawayo has been postponed to 12 March 2017 at the same venue.
