AFTER a flying start to the Ruvimbo funerals central region soccer league, log leaders Dulibadzimu United have bodly declared their intentions to gain promotion into the Premier Soccer League (PSL) this time around.
The Beitbridge based side has started the season on a high note and currently occupy pole position on the log with 13 points from five outings.
Dulibadzimu coach, Stanley Ncube said his side is focused on collecting as many points as they possibly can in the opening rounds of the league.
“We have had a good start so far. If we can get double figures of points in every five games it puts us in a favourable position,” Ncube told The Echo Sports.
“Although it’s too early to talk about promotion, we’re a competitive side that is ambitious, so we take it a game at a time.”
The log leaders will today host promotion favourites Chapungu in a high stakes match at Dulibadzimu stadium.
The Air force of Zimbabwe side are coming in on the backdrop of a midweek loss to new boys Dinson Mvuma and they cannot afford further slip ups.
But Ncube added that for his side, it is more than just promotion into the PSL as they are playing for pride, to bring top flight football to the border town.
Border Strikers were the last team from the town to play in the top flight in 2016.
“If we can achieve promotion our town will be on the map again football wise, it’s been long since we hosted PSL matches here,” added the dreadlocked gaffer.
Elsewhere, struggling Sheasham,who have just one win in five matches, entertain Kwekwe side Wangu Mazodze City at Bata stadium.
Second placed Tongogara will make the short trip to Redcliff for a derby against Kwekwe United at Ziscosteel club while West Nicholson hosts Shabanie mine.
Black Eagles are at home to FC Platinum U19 at Simbi stadium in Mberengwa to complete Saturday’s action.
On Sunday, Dinson Mvuma will be at home to Max Ruza’s Blanket Mine while Gokwe North fc clashes with Midlands State University (MSU) at Nembudziya B Government school.
