WINNERS
FC Platinum recorded their 11th win of the season and are now unbeaten in their last 7 league games since their 2-1 away defeat to Motor action. The Special one- Rahman Gumbo has not wasted time to make an impact on the local premiership. He has been in charge of the last 6 games and has won 5 of those and a 1-1 draw away from home at Mucheke stadium to Masvingo utd. He is on 3 home wins, 2 away wins and the Masvingo draw. In his fine run they have scored 11 goals and conceded just 2. In their 7 match unbeaten run, they have hit 12 goals and conceded the two goals. They open up a five point lead ahead of the Sunday fixtures. They complete a double over Kiglon.
Monoz got only their 4th win of the 2011 season, they are the draw specialist of the league having recorded 10 draws- the most. Until their defeat to Motor action last week, they were on a 8 match unbeaten run, with 6 draws and 2 wins. They have now collected 3 points from chicken in after they drew the first fixture in Bulawayo.
Shooting stars got their 2nd straight win and their 5th of the season and will hope to continue playing well in Mutare. Depending on Sundays results the bottom 6, might be separated by a point or two, making the relegation battle a tight one.
Gunners dropped points at home, but are now unbeaten in their last 3 games under Chunga. Assuming they get points for their abandoned match last week, when they were leading Caps utd, they will be back in their fight for survival.
Blue Ribbon made it 7 draws, they are now unbeaten in their last 6 games, since their away defeat- 0-3 to Masvingo utd. They have 5 draws and 1 win in the last 6 games, 2-1 over Dembare.
