“We are beginning our ground training sessions on 1 February, we are currently doing gym sessions so that players prepare their fitness going in the upcoming season,” Chirenga
“The team is ready to go for the new season and we are not going to release any player or buy any new ones because we want to acknowledge the work of our school boys into premier league.
