adminTripple B ran riot when they massacred a hapless Jessie Mine 5-0 away at Colleen Bawn courtesy of two braces by Ali Kazembe and Givemore Jiri before Amani Makhiwa chipped in with the other goal.
At Dulibadzimu, FC Strikers showed their big match temperament when they came back from behind to win 2-1 against a determined Town United which has been doing well since Beavan Gwamure took over as head coach from former Highlanders striker, Tobias Mudyambanje.
The win was Vavheneki’s first in a Beitbridge derby after the previous two ended in goalless draws and as a result of the eight-point gap between them and Tripple B who lead the standings with 36 points has been maintained.
FC Strikers president, Ephat Shoko said his side was concentrating on winning their games and added that he will not be distracted by championship talk.
“We are more worried about winning our games and as for the championship we will talk about it when the season ends,” Shoko said.

MSU buoyed by a morale boosting donation of team tracksuits by Gweru businessman, Patrick Chikwanda were 1-0 winners over Blanket Mine at Ascot.
