CHIREDZI – Triangle United FC have revived their hopes of winning the 2018 Premier Soccer League (PSL) or to at least finish the season with good points after netting six points from the previous two matches they have played.

Ngezi Platinum is on top with a sound 38 points followed by FC Platinum, also with 38 points.
The Sugar Sugar Boys have so far lost five games and have settled for a draw in two, but they have won eight matches and are hoping to win the remaining 13 so that they can finish the season with 65 points.
The team’s coach, Taurai Mangwiro said he was pleased by the team’s latest level of performance, saying the winning spirit ought to continue.
“I am excited by my team’s performance especially the victory against Dembare and Mutare Rovers. I cannot single out any player, the team has done fairly well,” said Mangwiro.

Devout Triangle FC fan, Alfainos Mangoma said the team ought not to slow down as supporters were now in high spirits.
“We are playing well. We hope this will continue. We want to win and we are confident in the defence abilities of such players as Chivheya and Kawondera.
“Lameck Nhamo is also valuable resource for Triangle FC, he has been doing very well for us. All the best for him,” said Mangoma.
