TOMORROW'S Castle Lager Premier Soccer League encounter between Tsholotsho FC and Caps United has been moved to Barbourfields Stadium.
The match had initially been pencilled for White City Stadium but the recently renovated stadium now plays host to a National Athletics Association of Zimbabwe track and field competition today and tomorrow.
Makepekepe immediately welcomed the switch with coach Mark Harrison saying he was looking forward to playing at "a much more nicer and spacious pitch".
"Our match is now at BF. We were told that White City Stadium was booked by athletics people for their competition although we were not consulted and we really would have wanted to play there," said Tsholotsho chairman Mlamuli Phiri.
Harrison said he had all along been preparing to lead his charges at White City Stadium and was naturally happy when told that the match is now at Emagumeni.
"Barbourfields Stadium's turf is marvellous and I'm really looking forward to it once more," said Harrison.
Fixtures;
Today: Chicken Inn v Buffaloes (Luveve Stadium), FC Platinum v Highlanders ( Mandava Stadium), Flame Lily FC v Dongo Sawmill ( Lafarge Stadium)
Tomorrow: How Mine FC v ZPC Kariba (Luveve Stadium), Whawha v Hwange (Ascot Stadium), Tsholotsho v Caps United ( Barbourfields Stadium), Dynamos v Triangle United ( National Sports Stadium).
Meanwhile, Taurai Mangwiro stormed off the bench in protest of the referees' decisions as his side Harare City put on a spirited fight to gun down Chapungu 2-0 in a Castle Lager Premier Soccer League match at Rufaro yesterday.
