After piping their Chivi South Sunday League fellows to the title, Renco Mine Juniors showed that their lifting the trophy was no fluke as they went on to emerge victors at the off-season tournament held recently at Shongamiti Secondary School.
Chauya Chigero as the team is known dispatched a fighting home team Shongamiti 2-1 in the final where the league’s top six teams (from the just ended season) took part in.
In the semi-finals of the tournament, eventual winners Renco got the better of Chisase 2-1 while Shongamiti beat Lundi Tigers 2-0.
In the third place play-off, Lundi Tigers brushed off the challenge of Chisase emerging 1 nil victors to claim position 3.
Renco Mine FC Juniors vice chairperson Baureni Chindamu (whose chairperson is Givemore Mahanya) said it has been their aim as a club to improve the lives of people by supporting sporting talent in communities.
“As Renco Mine Juniors, our concept is not about football only but bettering the lives of the youth especially in academics and making sure that their sporting talents are complimented with academic abilities,” said Baureni.
The league which concluded its season 2 two weeks ago is set to kick start the new season on May 28, if all goes well according to the league’s chairperson Tamuka Dewa.
“Now that we have come to the end and concluded Chivi Sunday Super League season 2, we are set to start the new season probably on May 28 and clubs are prepared to resume the sporting activity.
“The previous season in general terms was a good season and so was the tournament that capped its ending. We urge the teams in the league to keep up the spirit in the goodness of the sport and you thus made our league a better one through your commitment though some clubs ended it in a boring manner,” said Dewa.
The tournament had six teams Lundi Tigers, Gwatipedza, Chisase, Academy, Young Hlez and Renco Juniors.
