DYNAMOS Football Club’s welfare manager, Richard Chihoro has been summoned to appear before a Premier Soccer League disciplinary committee to answer to charges of misconduct following what he did during DeMbare’s match against Hwange at Barbourfields Stadium last Saturday.

During the half-time break, Chihoro stormed onto the pitch with a water bottle and emptied its contents on the Mpilo End goal line which DeMbare attacked in the second-half.

According to the statement released by the PSL last night, Chihoro will not be allowed in the DeMbare team bus, technical area or changing rooms until after the case has been heard at the league’s offices on April 5.

Below is the full statement from the PSL:
