adminfor the past three weeks because of the Southern African Regional Police Chiefs Corporation Organisation Games.
The police side scooped silver at the Games after losing 7-6 on penalties to Zambia after a goalless draw. Coach John “Toto” Ncube said his charges, who arrived on Thursday after a two-day road trip, would have to brush aside fatigue and focus on the assignments which would define their Premiership stay.
“We have to collect maximum points against Masvingo. It is high time we move away from the relegation zone.
“We have no excuses going into the battle tomorrow. Yes it will be a tight programme but the job has to be done.
“Maybe fatigue may affect the players who traveled to DRC but the fitness levels are okay because we have been competing.
“The eleven players who remained (civilians) behind started training this Tuesday with assistant coach Martin Bonongwe and should really be fresh for the game,” said Ncube.
Black Mambas inspirational midfielder Abbas Amidu, Lovemore Maphuya and Luckson Kaisa are some of the players who were inactive for the past few weeks as they did not travel with the team.
Yuna Yuna coach Saul Chaminuka said his team has been poor on the road and has to make full use of their home turf.
“We should win at all costs. We have been struggling away so we have to maximise at home.
“The youngsters are not playing badly but we have been unlucky on the road.”
