PREMIER Netball League side Chapungu Queens could have moved a step closer to the championship following a surprise victory over perennial champions ZDF Queens in Mutare today.
The Army side who have retained the championship for two seasons fell 36-37 in a contest they fought to the last minute.
Current leaders ZDF occupy the PNL summit with 48 points in 25 games while Chapungu are in third position with 42 and three games in hand.
Having tasted defeat only once, Chapungu are also likely to win all their outstanding fixtures while ZDF have just recorded their second loss.
