VETERAN coach Moses Chunga finally registered his first win in the Central Region Division One since joining Airforce side, Chapungu.
Chunga had an indifferent start to life in the unfashionable lower tier league, with his side picking one point in their first two matches.
However he helped the Gweru based side bounced back at the weekend when they laboured to a 2-1 victory over FC Platinum U19 in a match played at Mandava stadium on Saturday.
“It’s a good win away from home and we hope to keep winning. The league is still in its infancy and this is where we have to set the base for the final marathon,” Chunga said.
“Our players slowly getting it right and they are confident of winning many games including our two games in hand.”
The Airmen have two games in hand where they hope to collect to cover maximum the gap between them and the early pacesetters, Sheasham.
They face stiff competition from Sheasham, Tongogara and Kwekwe United, who all have already showing that they are up to something in this campaign.
