MATABELELAND Warriors have threatened to humiliate Zvishavane Bulls who they play tomorrow afternoon in a National Rugby League encounter at MacAdam Field in Zvishavane.Matabeleland Warriors, fourth on the log with 28 points, two ahead of city rivals Old Miltonians, need a win to make sure that they safely bag a semi-final spot.
In an interview yesterday, Matabeleland Warriors’ coach Reuben Kumpasa ruled out complacency and said they were geared up for their Zvishavane Bulls encounter.
“This is the most important game for us this season because we just have to win to make sure that we are in the semi-finals. Remember, this is the last game which will determine our fate and the boys are aware that Old Miltonians are breathing on our necks and we cannot afford to relax. We are taking along a strong squad for the game against Zvishavane Bulls,” said Kumpasa.
Matabeleland Warriors will bank on Sables’ fringe player Lloyd Machanjaire, Cleopas Makotose, national team player Lucky Sithole, Ozzie Lynx, Jan Ferreira and Kudzi Mutsekenyedzi.
Eighthman Martin Dutiro and winger Walter Gode are some of the Under-21 players that have been impressive for Matabeleland Warriors and are expected to travel to Zvishavane.
