Bosso face tricky tie at Hwange

HIGHLANDERS’ new Dutch coach Erol Akbay will get his initiation into local football with a tricky trip to the Colliery tomorrow for a date with Hwange as the two teams gets their 2016 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League season underway, hoping to improve from their showing last season.

Highlanders under interim coach Amini Soma Phiri finished sixth last year, two positions better than their opponents tomorrow, forcing the Bosso hierarchy to look abroad for salvation.

Akbay has managed to charm the team’s followers since taking over, leading Bosso to the ZNA Charities Shield final where he will face Harare City.
