MSU shoot to summit

Midlands Correspondent
VARSITY outfit, MSU powered to the summit of the Zifa Central Region Soccer League table courtesy of a 1-0 win against Chrome Stars at the University Grounds at the weekend.
A Farai Pipiri second half strike ensured that the Varsity Sharks collect maximum points in the process ensuring that the chrome miners fail to collect a single point in Gweru in all their last three attempts.

Following the win, MSU coach, Godfrey Chuchu whose charges have hit a rich vein of form lately, stuck his neck out and boldly declared that his charges are gunning for promotion.
“We just need to carry on with the momentum. If you look at our results in the last three or four matches they indicate that we should be taken seriously as championship contenders.
“As it stands, we are now the team to beat because of our form and we have no excuses for not going all out and claim the premiership ticket,” he said.

MSU took advantage of the abandonment of the Whawha-Zvishavane Stars match after the latter reportedly turned up for the match without player licences.
Whawha who led the championship race for the better part of the season are third on the table with 39 points and are awaiting the determination of the abandoned game.

The region’s board member, administration, Stanley Chapeta said a decision will be reached soon after they receive the referee’s report.
Whawha may return to the top of the table if they are awarded the match.

Results:
MSU 1-0 Chrome Stars, Whawha versus Zvishavane Stars (abandoned), Gweru City 1-0 Vumbachikwe, Silo United 1-2 Gaths Mine, FC Platinum Under 19 1-1 Tongogara, Nkayi United 1-1 ZRP Beitbridge, Chomumvuri Pirates 0-3 Blanket Mine.
