HERENTALS Under-20 can only watch from a distance.
They will be praying, and hoping, for a Miracle this weekend.
For the better part of the season, they were the best team in the league.
But, a defiant Simba Bhora kept battling on and, as the campaign enters its final phase this weekend, the Young Students can only hope for the best, and fear for the worst.
With two games left in the ZIFA Northern Region Division One League, the Young Students are four points adrift of leaders Simba Bhora.
The Harare side visit Come Again in Kadoma.
They will be praying Commando Bullets causes an upset in Shamva and they grab all three points, to take the title fight, into the final day.
If they fail to win tomorrow, Simba will be champions, even if they lose, because of their vastly superior goal difference.
The ZIFA Northern Region leadership have also confirmed that should Simba Bhora win, they will be presented with the trophy, soon after the game.
Yesterday the Northern Region also released their 2021-22 season best XI players.
