Mapeza relieved after stretching gap

FC PLATINUM gaffer Norman Mapeza (pictured) is relieved after title rivals Ngezi Platinum fell at the hands of Bulawayo City at the weekend.

The Platinum miners were given some breathing space after Ngezi lost to the beleaguered Bulawayo side, a result that helped them restore their healthy five-point lead following a mid-week glitch at the hands of Triangle.

With five games remaining before the curtain comes down, the defending champions are edging closer towards landing a second successive title.
