Zimbabwe: Scott Dangles U.S.$10k PSL Carrot . . . Nrsl Race With Mwos Hots Up

Mangombe is confident they have what it takes to fulfil Sakupwanya’s dream and called on the players to take each game as it comes, and not put themselves under too much pressure. Speaking on behalf of the players, captain Lincoln Zvasiya pledged to give it their all and secure the sole Premiership ticket.

Sakupwanya said at first they were just having fun in the league and even though they kept pace with the leading pack that included former leaders Black Rhinos and Harare City, they were not winning big. As a result, their goal difference was inferior to leaders MWOS, which has necessitated the hefty bonuses now that there is belief Scottland can actually win promotion on their first attempt.

“We need goals if we are to gain promotion into the Premier League and that is why in the game against Norton Community I went to the players and pledged US$1 000 for a big win, which we got.

“Now we have a package for the next game against DZ Royals and we will see what to do for the next challenge.”

Earlier, Sakupwanya delivered US$1 500 for each player for the last three wins.

Of the windfall, US$1 000 is for the 7-0 demolition of relegation-threatened Norton Community at Rufaro last week.

There was US$250 each for the other two matches where there was no incentive at stake.

All of Scottland’s remaining four fixtures are in Harare. They visit DZ Royals and Harare City and then host Herentals Under-20 and Black Mambas. Current leaders, MWOS face Black Mambas away and then complete the campaign with successive home matches against CCLEE Mhangura, Norton Community, and Agama.
