Antipas throws in the towel

CHICKEN Inn have given up on the Castle Lager Premier Soccer League race despite trailing leaders FC Platinum by 10 points with six games remaining and 18 points to play for before the end of the season.

The GameCocks are on 51 points with FC Platinum on 61 points, but coach Joey Antipas on Saturday said Chicken Inn were now fighting for the runners-up tag and believes no one will now catch-up with the Zvishavane-based side.

Chicken Inn beat relegation-bound WhaWha at Luveve Stadium on Saturday, while rivals Dynamos lost to Ngezi Platinum Stars the next day at the National Sports Stadium.
