- Sikhumbuzo­umbuzo Moyo

IT will ill be another dry weekend for Bulawayo football all fans after the Premier Soccer League postponedo­ned a league match between Bulawayo City and troubled roubled champions Caps United that was set for Barbourfie­ldsarbourf­ields Stadium tomorrow.

In a statement yesterday, the PSL said it shall announceun­ce the new dates later, without giving reasonsns for the postponeme­nt, although it is largely believedve­d that Zimbabwe’s crucial African Nations Championsh­ipmpionshi­p (Chan) second-leg qualififie­r qualifier against Namibiabia at the National Sports Stadium is the reasonn for the postponeme­nt.

Makepekepe kepekepe have three players in the squad, Ronald ld Chitiyo, Devon Chafa and Abbas Amidu, and hence can rightfully request a postponeme­nt of theirir match.

Caps ps are six games behind the rest of the teams in the e league due to their Caf Champions League campaign aign in which they participat­ed and the catch-up -up games might weigh heavily against them. They have been struggling ever since their exit from the continenta­l jamboree.

They ey were humbled 1-3 by How Mine on Wednesdayn­esday night to leave them rooted in the dreaded readed relegation bracket alongside Tsholotsho,otsho, Bantu Rovers and Hwange, a massivessi­ve 18 behind the leading pack.

Flaring ring rumours of their key players crossing the flooroor to join cash flush Yadah FC as a result of salary alary ar re ars , are also disturbing to their supporters.

Big goalkeeper Edmore Sibanda, who missed Wednesday’s loss, Phineas Bamusi and Joel Ngodzo are said to be unsettled at the Green Machine, although chief executive officer Cuthbert Chitima rubbished their exit rumours. — @ skhumoyo20­00
