Mapeza revels in league glory

FC PLATINUM wrapped up the Castle Lager Premier League championship campaign in style at the weekend, as the well-resourced side yet again wrote another beautiful piece of history by becoming the first team outside Harare and Bulawayo to successfully defend their title.

The Norman Mapeza-coached side beat Shabanie Mine 1-0 at Maglas Stadium to confirm their superiority over the rest of the teams in the league, lifting the title with two games to spare.

On the face of it, it would appear as if the Zvishavane-based side strolled to the finishing line.
