The Pensioners are out to search for three important points this afternoon as the host Young Green Eagles FC in a week-32 match of the Eden National Division One League.
A victory in today’s match will see the Pensioners bounce back to the Super League after a season of being in Division One, with two games to spare.
And with only two slots up for grabs for the Super League qualification, Coach Perry Mutapa has urged his boys to take today’s match as a Cup final and fight for three points.
And today’s match will be an interesting one with coach Perry having a vast of options to pick from with the return of David Odhiambo and Austin Banda who had suffered injuries.
The Coach will clearly also have a hard time picking his starting 11 with everyone in the team fighting to earn a place to start in every match.
