Zimbabwe Football Association Bulawayo Province Division 2 and 3 Leagues are in full swing this weekend with runaway leaders Tsholotsho Pirates playing host to resurgent Emakhandeni based side Green Mambas at White City Stadium at 12am in an earlier kick-off. The tsholotsho based side who are yet to be beaten in this highly competitive league are having a roller coaster of a season with young coach Lizwe Sweswe seemingly having a midas touch in a side that has the talent coming as far as Mutare. Green Mambas will be no push-overs as they come to this tie with their tails up after walloping fallen giant Ajax Hotspurs 3 -0 in their backyard.

Heavily breathing on their necks is Sizani Fruits & Vegetables who take on unpredictable Iminyela Stars from talent laden Number One the home of Boy Ndlovu and the Balanda brothers Mandla and Clement. Rainbow Hotel take on rising Amalanda from the youthful surbub Cowdray Park. The Hoteliers are having a dream season but face a talented Amalanda full of youth exuberance.

Struggling giants Ajax Hotspurs take on Amini Soma-Phiri's Luveve Big XI at Somhlolo stadium KoBango Mpopoma. Luveve Big XI who were relegated from ZIFA Southern Region Division One will seek to use their experience to triumph over a youthful Ajax Hotspurs who will for the second week miss their talented young talisman Chrispen Machisi who will be on school duty in a tournament hosted by Milton Boys High. However the School of Excellence will seek to upset the applecart with their new signing former Zimbabwe Saints midfield dynamite Maxwell Mburayi having a say in the result. He will be ably supported by the slippery Nqobilizwe Dabuka Express Ncube and upcoming youngsters Kingsley Best, Thamsanqa Diof Jubane and Douglas Jeremiah.

In Division 3 returnees and log leaders Old Nic Mine will seek to emphasise their quest for an early return to Division 2 with a victory over Nketa based VS Stars at Old Nic. Led by Nesbert Gwekwerere Sibanda ironically from Nketa, the miners will come across a VS Stars who boasts of several players from the now defunct Select Stars. The talented FMH Academy rounds up the division 3 league program with a tie against the volatile farmers Corn Cob at Municipals on Sunday. The talented side will look up to their promising Bright Nyonyo Dzowa to lead their charge against the farmers.
