FORMER Whawha trio — Jayden Bakari, Terrence Daka and Munyaradzi Chirwa — are preparing to line up together once more at CAPS United this season.
Just two seasons ago, they helplessly watched the prison wardens side lose their Premier Soccer League status.
But, Dynamos were keeping a close eye on Bakari and they managed to outbid Highlanders, Simba Bhora and Manica Diamonds.
Bakari also won the Castle Lager Premiership Most Promising Player award prior to his move to DeMbare. He lasted a season at Dynamos before joining CAPS United this year.
CAPS United signed Daka from Whawha and he made a huge statement in his debut campaign with Makepeke last season.
This is now his second season with the Green family.
Chirwa joined Sheasham after leaving Whawha.
Sheasham lasted just one season in the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League, which means Chirwa’s last two seasons have ended in relegation.
However, this could be the season when he finally gets rid of this misfortune.
CAPS United skipper, Tonderai Mateyaunga, believes the newly-acquired players will help provide the missing spark.
“It’s always good to see new, better players joining the club. It shows that CAPS United is still a dream team for most of the players.
“I can’t say much about what is expected from them, but I believe challenging for the title is something they all came prepared for.
“New players will always give you something better and I want to urge them to make use of this platform by making a name for themselves,” said Mateyaunga.
The league’s fixtures for this campaign were released yesterday and Makepeke are hosting Chicken Inn on their first assignment of the campaign.
It will also be a tough reunion for Tostao Kwashi, who spent the better part of his coaching career at CAPS United as Lloyd Chitembwe’s understudy.
He is now with the Gamecocks.
The trio of Lincoln Mangayira, Thulani Joseph and Clive Augusto moved from CAPS United to Chicken Inn.
Joseph was the best player at Makepekepe last season.
