adminA PANEL of football journalists, coaches and team captains will this morning converge in Harare to select the outstanding players, the best coach, goalkeeper and the rookie of the year during the 2015 Castle Lager Premiership season. While the top goal-scorer’s award is known to be going to Knox Mutizwa of Highlanders with 14 Premiership goals, all the other winners will be unveiled at a function on Friday night.
The Soccer Star of the Year, his two runners-up, the Coach of the Year and the Goalkeeper of the Year will only be unveiled at that special banquet in Harare. There are several players that were outstanding during the season but will not be eligible for selection due to strict discipline rules that govern the process of selection. Selection rules state that a player who accumulates six or more yellow cards, or two straight red cards, is ineligible for selection.
Also not considered are players who would have been convicted before the PSL disciplinary committee.
Some of the players that are tipped for the crown include champions Chicken Inn captain Danny Phiri who is widely tipped to win. Phiri also captained the Warriors as they qualified for the CHAN finals in Rwanda next January with the defensive midfielder proving consistent this season.
But he might not be the only player from Chicken Inn to make it amongst the best 11 this year, goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze, striker Edmore Chirambadare and midfielder Clement Matawu were also outstanding for the Bulawayo club.— Sportszone.
