PAY per view television station SuperSport makes a return to Bulawayo after a three-month absence since Dynamos’ supporters invaded the pitch following their team’s draw against Tsholotsho.

The match was played at Barbourfields Stadium on August 23 and with the Glamour Boys seemingly headed for a 1-0 win, their skipper Stephen Alimenda scored a spectacular own goal at the death. That did not go down well with some DeMbare fans, who scaled the fence and uprooted the goalpost while others threw missiles from the Mpilo end where a SuperSport cameraman was dismantling his equipment, forcing him to run for cover.

The pay per view channel threatened not to return to Bulawayo citing security concerns, but they will broadcast two live matches this weekend starting with this afternoon’s clash between title contenders Chicken Inn and Harare City at Luveve Stadium as well as tomorrow’s tie between Highlanders and relegation troubled Tsholotsho at Barbourfields Stadium.

Chicken Inn could place one hand on the title if they beat Harare City. A win for the Gamecocks and a loss or draw for their closest rivals FC Platinum, who take on Caps United, will seal the race for the title and give coach Joey Antipas his second championship medal following his first in 2010 with Motor Action.
