Sport Date: 16 August 2012
Tshakhuma RO United are the champions of the Tshakhuma Winter Soccer Tournament. They beat Gwamasenga United Brothers 3-2 in the final.
The tournament was staged at the Tshakhuma Malaria grounds on Saturday.
Tshakhuma RO United were presented with R1 600 during a ceremony that was held at the grounds shortly after the final game. As it was a winner-takes-all tournament, the runners-up, Gwamasenga United Brothers, went home with empty hands.
Four teams, Tshakhuma RO United, Gwamasenga United Brothers, Makhakha Takers FC and Tshakhuma Peace Lovers, took part in the one-day tournament.
Lufuno “CJ” Mugodi scored a brace, while Lavhelesani Mukomafhedzi scored the third.
Tshakhuma RO United’s way to the final went via Tshakhuma Peace Lovers, whom they narrowly beat 1-0 in the semifinal earlier that day. Their goal was scored by Asivhanzhi Muthubi.
According to the head coach of RO United, Mr Mashudu “Coolio” Ndou, their reason for staging a tournament was to gauge the strength of their team, saying they did not want to leave any stone unturned in their preparations for the new season.
