BLACK BOOTS continued with their winning ways in the Zimbabwe Football Association Southern Region Division One beating Old Nic Mine 2-1 in Fairbridge on Saturday in a match that was abandoned when the miners protested the police side’s winning goal scored in the last minute. FORTUNE MBELE SPORTS REPORTER
The police side came from behind after Old Nic Mine had scored as early as the fourth minute through Prince Moyo.
They equalised 20 minutes into the second half through James Phiri and got the winner in the 89th minute through Stanley Ngara, but the miners protested the last-minute goal and the match was abandoned.
Last weekend, Phiri was on target again when Black Boots beat Trumus 2-0 at Victoria Falls.
Black Boots therefore maintained their stranglehold at the top of the log standings with 45 points from 22 games, but the competition is stiff as second-placed Technosphere routed Quelaton 5-1 in Hwange.
Technosphere are now on 42 points with a game in hand and on the third spot is Tsholotsho FC who dispatched Elephants FC 3-0 at home.
Tsholotsho have 42 points from 21 games.
Plumtree Chiefs are also in contention and registered an away win beating Mpumalanga 2-1 in Hwange. They are on position four with 40 points.
