BY FORTUNE MBELE

Former Premier Soccer League side Bantu Rovers, leading the pack with 55 points and gunning for a return to the top league, faltered at the weekend, when they were held to a goalless draw by Victoria Falls Tigers in the resort town on Sunday.

They clash with Makomo at Luveve this afternoon, as they seek to make amends after the weekend draw.

Second-placed Amagagasi from Victoria Falls, also on 55 points, after beating Hwange Under-20 on Saturday, take on Talen Vision at White City Stadium at midday.

After that match, Bulawayo Chiefs and ZPC Hwange clash at the same venue.

Bulawayo Chiefs and ZPC Hwange are both on 54 points, just a point behind Bantu Rovers and Amagagasi.

Chiefs also slipped on Saturday playing a goalless draw against police side Black Boots in Fairbridge, while ZPC Hwange inched into contention with a 2-0 win over Talen Vision in the coal-mining town on Saturday.
