Bosso takes their act to Hwange

HWANGE head coach Nation Dube faces a daunting task when his charges entertain league pacesetters Highlanders in what is expected to be a mouth-watering Castle Lager Premiership football tie at the Colliery tomorrow.

Hwange have been on cloud nine in the last three outings after a going through a bad patch and tomorrow's encounter could be one of their toughest matches in the first half of the season playing Bosso, a team they have beaten only twice in the league since 2010.

Bosso leads the pack with 26 points from 12 matches after scrapping a 2-1 win against Black Mambas at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday after a midweek 5-2 walloping of Monomotapa in Harare.

Highlanders also welcome back bustling striker Njabulo "Tshiki" Ncube, who was not part of the squad on Sunday due to suspension after picking up three yellow cards. Peter "Rio" Moyo also had a bad day in office and had to be replaced by Beaven Chikaka last Sunday.

With Munawa returning to the right-back where he has settled, the return of attacking midfielder Masimba Mambare, who had travelled with the Warriors to Malawi last weekend and Milton Ncube, Bosso's well-oiled machine could be back in full motion tomorrow with speed merchant left-back Bruce Kangwa, attacking from the left.

Also returning from the Warriors camp is goalkeeper Munyaradzi Diya, providing further competition for Arial Sibanda for the number one position.
