PLAYERS in distress?
Defending champions Chicken Inn FC players were taken for a hotel treat in a bid to calm their nerves as the going gets tough in the PSL.
a�?It was the idea of our coach Rahman Gumbo. Ita��s part of his coaching programmes. He had aimed at taking the boys out and have their minds off football. We saw the players in a relaxed mood having informal conversations with members of the technical staff,a�? said Hara.
Interestingly, after the bonding venture Gumbo got a timely reprieve as he saw his side pick up their first win from the last four matches by dismissing Tsholotsho 1-0 at Luveve Stadium last Sunday.
It was the championsa�� seventh win of the season in a match where they played most of the second half with 10 men after the dismissal of Obadiah Tarumbwa.
The Gamecocks, who have been a pale shadow of the side they were last season, moved four steps up the league table with that win.
Midfielder Thabani Goredema scored the solitary goal in the 55th minute for Chicken Inn before chief striker Tarumbwa was shown the red card three minutes later for a second bookable offence.
Chicken Inna��s last win was the 2-0 triumph over Highlanders at Barbourfields Stadium on July 3 and their latest victory took their points tally to 27 points.
Gumbo has been under pressure in the last few weeks where his team struggled for a win with successive draws against Highlanders and Chapungu and a defeat to Ngezi Platinum in their most recent matches.
