We want to keep wining our home matches and that way we can make sure we escape relegation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think the victory is also important in that it will go a long in attracting more fans to our home matches here at Sakubva.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Gunners&#8217; caretaker coach George Madira chose to blame the state of the pitch for his team&#8217;s defeat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;How can you play football in such a pitch?<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; I think I can only put the blame on the pitch although it is also true that we missed a number of chances,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>l The draw for the BancABC Sup8r Cup will be held at the company&#8217;s headquarters in Mount Pleasant at 5pm tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>The tournament, to be played under a changed format, signals BancABC&#8217;s continued support for the nation&#8217;s favourite sport.<\/p>\n<p>a team that was struggling to attract more than 50 fans, on average, during their home matches at Gwanzura, the crowd that watched yesterday&#8217;s match at Sakubva was quite encouraging.<\/p>\n<p>Shooting Stars..(0) 1<\/p>\n<p>Gunners FC &#8230;.(0) 0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shooting Stars:<\/strong> G Brown;
