Herentals, Harare City in NRSL top of the table clash

Takudzwa Chitsiga – Sports Reporter

Both teams are yet to taste defeats in the race after five games with Herentals Under-20 trailing the “Sunshine Boys” by two points on 13 after their 1-all draw with Shamva Mine.

Mudawepi said they are going to approach the game with caution.

Herentals will be missing the services of striker Silas Azeki through a knock.

“We have been doing well in the previous games, but this will be a different game as we are facing a tough opponent who has also done well. We will be missing the services of Silas Azeki who has a knock, but I think we have good replacements. We registered 30 players who can do duty and I hope they will come on board and prove themselves,” said Mudawepi.

Harare City coach, Hebert Maruwa said they are ready for the game and the boys are looking forward to a positive result.
“We are looking forward to the match and we will be playing at a neutral venue considering that it is also our home ground. The players are doing well and I believe their experience from the premier league will help them. It is a game we look forward to and our win against Black Mambas last week will work as a motivator,” said Maruwa.
The other high-profile match in the league will see former Premier League sides Black Rhinos taking on Cranborne Bullets in a battle of the Zimbabwe National Army contest at the Heart Stadium tomorrow.
