adminThe banning of all communication devices is not peculiar to the Hwange team only as the then Highlanders manager Ernest Maphepha Sibanda used to enforce that during his days at Highlanders, especially when preparing for a big match.
“We are in camp although at the moment we are having our training session at the Colliery and after that we will drive back to Victoria Falls,” said the reigning Castle
Lager Premier Soccer League Coach of the Year.
He said he still enjoys a clean bill of health in his team with all the 24 players in camp available for selection.
Well aware that their second leg match at the 15 000 seater Stade Al-Amal Atbara Stadium will be a tough encounter, the Zambian called on all football supporters to rally behind the team.
“The players know what is at stake as well as the company management. I am therefore calling upon everyone to come on board on Sunday and be part of our demolition mission. Support is always vital to any team,” said Chilumba.
Chilumba is on record saying the best way of defending is to attack and attack relentlessly, and that is exactly what fans at the Colliery Stadium will witness.
Meanwhile, the Sudanese touched down at the Harare International Airport yesterday afternoon and took a two-hour rest before boarding a chartered plane to the Victoria Falls International Airport.
After touching down, they then travelled by road to the coal mining town of Hwange where they are booked at the three-star Baobab Hotel.
“They will not be staying in Victoria Falls as previously reported but instead they will be in Hwange right up to match day,” said Hwange secretary and spokesman Burzil Dube.
