Yadah FC won the Eastern Region Division One League championship on Saturday after a walk over on Masvingo City who failed to turn up for the match.

Yadah were awarded the game on a 3-0 scoreline which saw them equal Buffaloes on 69 points but ahead on superior goal difference. 

Buffaloes who needed a straight win to win the championship were held to a disappointing 1-1 by Tenax. 

Yadah got Ruwa Gunners franchise six matches into the season and climbed their way up to rival Buffaloes for the title. 

Yadah coach Kuda Masaraure said winning the championship was a result of collective effort which involved the players, coaches and the executive.

"We kept on believing that we will be crowned champions at the end of the season despite the slow start. It was all due to the hard work we put from the players, the technical department and the executive. We are give credit to Prophet Magaya for his guidance and support," Masaraure said.

Yadah joins Black Rhinos, Shabanie Mine and Bantu Rovers as the regional division 1 winners. 

The teams will wait for the resolution between Premier Soccer League and the Zimbabwe Football Association on the promotion criteria. 

The PSL maintains that two teams should be relegated and the four regional winners go for play offs to determine the two teams to be promoted. 

ZIFA on the other hand are pushing for automatic promotion of the regional winners and the relegation of four teams. 

Border Strikers and Mutare are the two teams relegated according to the PSL criteria.
