Hwange just a point away from PSL return

- Mehluli Sibanda Sports Editor

HWANGE Football Club are just a point away from securing a return to the Premier Soccer League after securing a 3-0 walkover score line when Ajax Hotspurs failed to pitch up at the Colliery Stadium yesterday.

With six points to play for, all Hwange have to do is get a draw in one of the remaining matches to seal promotion and return to the top flight.

Ajax Hotspurs director, Siphambani­so Dube said they sadly could not make the trip from Bulawayo to Hwange due to financial constraint­s.

As a result, Hwange profited and they now need just a point from their remaining matches to be crowned champions. Their rivals, ZPC Hwange hammered Indlovu Iyanyathel­a 4-1 at White City Stadium. Justine Kaunda, Prosper Mathe,Tyson Muzamba and Morgen Nyoni were on taget for the electricit­y generators.

Chipangano are on 82 points while ZPC Hwange have 77 points but it will be all over if Hwange secure just a point at home against Indlovu Iyanyathel­a at the Colliery Stadium on Saturday, the same day that ZPC Hwange get the free three points courtesy of the now defunct Indonsakus­a.

Ajax were not the only team that failed to travel for an away fixture as Mountain Climbers also did not make the journey to Victoria Falls and Mosi Rovers got a 3-0 walkover.

Third placed Arenel Movers thumped Binga Pirates 3-1 and Talen Vision, occupants of fourth position won 2-0 over Zimbabwe Saints.
