THREE of the five teams that are newcomers to the MCM Estates Northern Region Soccer League (NRSL) have stamped their authority early, positioning themselves firmly in the title race.
Among the newcomers, Chingwere, CP Chemicals, and G&T Mining are already proving that adapting to a new league doesn’t automatically mean falling behind.
If anything, the early signs suggest the newcomers have arrived ready to challenge, with Chingwere standing out as the most impressive of the lot. The Mhondoro-based side currently occupies fifth place and has suffered only two defeats in 16 matches, an achievement that speaks both consistency and mental strength.
So far this season, Chingwere’s record reads five wins, nine draws, and two losses, collecting a total of 24 points from their campaign.
What makes their position even more compelling is how close they are to the top.
Chingwere are only six points adrift of log leaders, Black Rhinos, keeping them firmly in contention despite being outside the top four.
Chingwere’s approach can be described as one built on resilience and determination. Their defending has also been relatively solid, having conceded 10 goals so far. At the heart of their success is forward Brian Kwaramba, the league’s current top scorer with eight goals.
