HOW Mine FC have stuck to the same team that demolished Chuoni FC 4-0 in a Caf Confederation Cup preliminary round first leg clash at Barbourfields Stadium on Sunday.Coach Philani Ncube still basking in the glory of pumping four goals against the East Africans, said he would travel with the same 18 players who were on duty at the weekend.
He reported a clean bill of health and said he was looking forward to a good outing. Ncube said they would go all out for goals in Zanzibar.
“We will go all out for attack. It is not yet over for us and we will put everything into that game to ensure we get a positive result,” said Ncube.
New acquisition, Kuda Musharu was the star of the first leg scoring a brace in his debut match for the gold miners.
“He is not yet fully fit. We are working on his fitness levels and those of the rest of the team,” said the 2009 Coach of the Year.
Gilbert Banda and Brighton Dube will not travel with the team. The duo missed the first leg because they do not have passports.
Club chairman Mlondolozi Nkomo disclosed that the team would leave for Harare by road this morning. They would then fly out on Ethiopian Airlines to Addis Ababa where they will connect to Zanzibar for the Saturday game.
They will arrive at the island at about 2AM tomorrow.
“We are leaving tomorrow. All looks set and everything has fallen into place. Three officials will accompany the club,” said Nkomo.
He said he would travel with his deputy Alpha Matubura and organising secretary Tarisayi Mahlathini.
Nkosilathi Ncube, the Zifa Matabeleland South boss will accompany the team as head of delegation.
