SIMBA Bhora holding midfielder, Tichaona Chipunza, wants a strong finish for his team in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League.
The Shamva miners are chasing a maiden league championship.
Chipunza has played a pivotal role at the club where he has been one of the most consistent and regular players.
He has only missed three games this season and has proved to be a dependable shield for the team.
“The season has been good so far. I believe as a team we just have to finish strongly in the remaining games,” he said.
“I have achieved success through hard work and I make sure that I am always there in front to provide a shield and protect the defence when under attack.
“The message is simple: let’s support one another, fight for the next guy and cover for their mistakes.
“That’s one love, one unit.
“We then work hard at training.”
Simba Bhora are enjoying an impressive run that has seen them top the log standings for two months now.
They last lost a match in June when they went down to FC Platinum.
They are currently on a 13-game unbeaten run in the league. With 60 points from 29 matches, Simba Bhora are nine points clear of second-placed FC Platinum.
They need just two more wins from the remaining five games to be crowned champions.
Barring a monumental collapse, Simba Bhora will be the fourth club, based outside Harare and Bulawayo, to clinch the league title after St Paul’s Musami, FC Platinum and Ngezi Platinum Stars.
