“It was a good game but unfortunately some of our players were committed at work and could not travel with us for the Harare Sports Club game.
“Some of my regular players who missed the game because of their involvement at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair are Paul Staark, Mike Zvakavapano and Thabo Nyathi.
“We will have our full-strength squad this weekend for the Old Georgians game and I am confident we will win it,” said Kumpasa.
