IT has been a HORROR season for the Dynamos fans so far and, maybe, we should try to cheer them up a bit.
After all, they are the country’s biggest and most successful football club.
What is clear is that their fans are not used to seeing their Glamour Boys hovering in the relegation zone.
Right now, DeMbare are second from the bottom-of-the-table, in 17th place on the 18-team Castle Lager Premier Soccer League.
Only Kwekwe United, who are on course to become the worst team to ever feature in the top-flight league, have done worse than DeMbare in the first half of the season.
The Premiership newboys, who share the primary identity of blue with Dynamos, are rock bottom on the table with one win in their opening 18 games. But football is about fun, isn’t it?
So, we decided just to spice up the occasion and turn the league table upside down and pretend this was a golf tournament instead of a football marathon.
You know, in golf, the prize goes to the golfer or team which finishes with the score on the card.
So, for the sake of our Glamour Boys friends, whose fans are used to seeing them somewhere closer to the top of the table, we have come up with an alternative table in which the bottom teams are the ones which come to the top.
Some form of fantasy golf.DeMbare, also known as Haina Ngozi, which used to be known as Boys In Blue, find themselves in second place, just below Kwekwe United.
This looks more like it, more like the DeMbare we have known all these years, relentless fighters who dominated the championship race and even represented our country with pride in the CAF Champions League.
This looks more like a DeMbare poised for a return to the Champions League than one which, in the real world, appears set for Division One football next year. For the record, it’s now 11 years since the Glamour Boys last featured in the Champions League.
Their last appearance came just a month before Bernard Marriot took over as board chairman.
We know they won’t be back in those trenches next year but, for the sake of their history and everything they have done to make local football such a beautiful product, it’s good to see them somewhere up there on the table.
Even, if it’s just fantasy.
