RELIEF finally swept through the Highlanders camp yesterday after players received their outstanding salaries ahead of today’ Castle Lager Premier Soccer League clash against Hardrock at Chahwanda in Kwekwe.
A source within the club confirmed that salaries had been settled, with Bosso also expected to move towards paying winning bonuses owed to players.
“The salaries were paid today (yesterday) and the club is also expected to disburse winning bonuses to the players. The team has managed two wins this season and naturally the players are expecting those bonuses as well,” said the source.
The development is expected to significantly lift morale within the Bosso camp as coach Benjani Mwaruwari seeks to guide his side towards something they have failed to achieve all season, consecutive league victories. Fresh from a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Triangle United at Barbourfields on Sunday, Highlanders now face another stern examination against one of the league’s emerging sides.
For Bosso, today’s encounter is about far more than just collecting three points.
It is an opportunity to show they can still rise above the off-field turbulence and begin building momentum in a campaign that has so far been disappointing.
