BLACK Mambas collected their first set of points this season yesterday when they dismissed Chauya Chikwata in a Castle Lager Premiership match at Morris Depot yesterday.
The Premiership returnees have been poor on the road losing 3-5 to CAPS United in the season opener and again yesterday they were found wanting.
The match began with the hosts dictating pace and were duly rewarded in the 14th minute when Amidu beat his marker, raced for goal and sent a fine delivery to the former Dynamos forward Rundofa who finished with aplomb.
After the goal, the police side threatened to increase their lead with former Hwange midfielder Fortune Ncube, who was on song, troubling the visitors.
Zimbabwe Saints suffered an early setback just before half the hour mark when goalkeeper Fibion Shonhayi was injured and had to replaced by former Dynamos keeper Munyaradzi Diya.
Saints' forwards Beaven Chikaka and Ntokozo Tshuma caused anxious moments for the hosts but Mambas clung on until the breather.
