Machope targets Golden Boot

SIMBA Bhora striker Tymon Machope is targeting to win this season’s Golden Boot award and in the process break Norman Maroto’s 22-goal record set 14 years ago.

Maroto was the last player to score at least 20 goals in the domestic Premier Soccer League after he netted 22 times to claim the league’s Golden Boot in 2010 while playing for Gunners.

Over a decade later, no striker in the league has managed to surpass that, with Takunda Benhura scoring 13 goals to top the scoring chats last season.
