THE Zifa Southern Region Division One teams will be in action during this long weekend.
Some of the matches have been set for today.Seasoned campaigners Tshotsholo Pirates will play host to newcomers Trumus at Tsholotsho Business Centre in any early kick off encounter.

The match will be played at 12 noon while the rest of the games will be played at the usual time of 3pm.

Tsholotsho Pirates secretary Melody Ndlovu said the team is upbeat ahead of their encounter against the Victoria Falls outfit.

“We are confident we will win and everything is going according to plan and it’s good that we are playing on Independence Day because we will get a chance to celebrate while watching soccer as a community,” she said.

Ndlovu said they are targeting a Premiership berth this season after intense pre-season preparations done by the Lizwe Sweswe coached outfit.
Buoyant Trumus will be hoping to continue their fine start to the league after a win and a draw in their opening two matches.

“This will be a big test for us, Tshotsholo are an experienced side and it’s our first time against them so we don’t know what to expect. We are going to the encounter blank,” said Trumus secretary Allen Tawanda Guzha.

Guzha said they want to use the season as a learning curve.

“We are new kids on the block, so we want to use this year as a stepping stone, but we will not relax because of that,” he said.
