Bosso seek to extend Chibuku Cup dominance

Highlanders 1 - 0 Shabanie
It is now 41 years since Highlanders bagged their first Chibuku Cup having beaten the now defunct Mangula 3-0 in the 1973 final. They proceeded to win the cup four more times and became the record holders.

The tournament is back after a 24-year hiatus under a new brand, the Chibuku Super Cup.

Today, Bosso began their quest to extend their authority in the Chibuku tournament against Shabanie Mine at a neutral Ascot with a 10-nil win.

Coach Kelvin Kaindu is under spotlight to emulate the classes of 1973, 1980, 1984, 1986 and 1989 that bagged the trophy.

The 1973 crop which opened the account of Chibuku trophies had the likes of Bruce Grobbelaar, Tymon Mabaleka (late), Boetie Van As, Josiah Nxumalo, Ananias Ncube and captain Lawrence "Lofty" Phiri.

A star-studded class of 1990 that closed their haul of the trophy had Peter and Adam Ndlovu, Willard Khumalo, Peter Nkomo and was captained by Fanuel Dube.

Khumalo and Nkomo are still with Bosso but in the technical department.
