DYNAMOS opened the new 2012 Premiership football season by winning a trophy, after capturing the NetOne Charity Shield at the National Sports Stadium on Sunday.

DeMbare edged Motor Action 2-1 to successfully defend the trophy they also won last seasonwhen they beat the same opponents in the penalty shootout lottery with the match having ended 2-2 after extra-time.

Rodreck Mutuma, who won the Golden Boot as the Premiership's top goal-scorer last year, opened the scoring for Dynamos before striker Ishamel Lawe equalised for the Mighty Bulls in the first half.

New DeMbare signing Takesure Chinyama, voted the man-of-the-match in his first competitive game back home after a spell in Poland, struck the winning goal for the Glamour Boys.

Dynamos have now won five trophies in the past 12 months after winning the Bob '87 Super Cup, the NetOne Charity Shield, the Mbada Diamonds Cup and the league championship last year.

Coach Callisto Pasuwa had virtually swept the board, in all trophies he has battled for since joining Dynamos, helping them to win the Mbada Diamonds Cup, the league championship last year and the NetOne Charity Shield yesterday.

Dynamos collected a US$50,000 cheque while the Mighty Bulls banked US$25,000.
 
Chinyama, voted the man of the match, took home $500.
