ROYALS coach, Martin Dahwa, said he is expecting a tough match against Black Panther in the Harare Saturday Social League at the National Sports Stadium B Arena on Saturday.

Dahwa said although it’s only a social league, the competition is fierce, as every team wants to win. He said the league is quite competitive.

“It will definitely be a tough match for both teams, but we want to get maximum points in this one. “We settled for a draw in the first game but we felt we were robbed by the referee’s decisions.

“There is a lot to play for on Saturday,” said Dahwa. Black Panther team manager, Aaron Njela, said they’ll have to be at their best to win this game.

“We are looking forward to an interesting match. “Playing against Royal will need us to be in our best form.

“I think a draw will be good for us,” he said.

Njela said he was delighted with how their team has performed this season, as they are currently second on the log.

“We have really performed well and our current position reflects how we have been performing.” He believes social football helps his players get some relief from work pressure.

“We decided to form a team for our boys to relieve themselves from work pressure.

“All our players are on payroll.

“They all work for the Black Panther Company.

“Axeso Holdings is the company name and Black Panther is just a brand name.”

Black Panther sit on 48 points, six adrift of log leaders Agents FC. Royals are fifth with 43 points. Legal Lions are at the basement with 14 points from 24 outings.
