Takudzwa Chitsiga Sports Reporter
NESBERT “Yabo” Saruchera’s Cranborne Bullets were the biggest winners after the opening round of the ZIFA Northern Region Division One at the weekend.

Malvin Hwata scored a brace while substitute Edwin Sibanda also weighed in with another strike with former Black Rhinos player Kelvin Chipawoko also on target as they thrashed Banket United 4-0.

Commando Bullets coach challenged his men not to be complacent.

“We have a young team which I believe will be competitive this season. The team did well and I hope we will be able to maintain the momentum,” said Saruchera.

The game of the week saw Golden Valley getting the better of bitter rivals Chegutu Pirates at Rimuka.

The Mashonaland West derby produced three goals with Raphael Phiri’s Golden Valley winning 2-1.
