Tshiombo derby ends in goalless draw

 

Sport  Date: 17 August 2012

 

The derby match between Tshiombo XI Securitas and Tshiombo Try Again at the Securitas grounds on Sunday ended in a goalless draw.

The match provided lots of entertainment as the players of the two teams were familiar with the strong points of their opposition. Chiefs’ defender, Mulomowandau Mathoho, is a product of Securitas. The two teams became automatic rivals when Try Again was registered in the league two seasons ago.

Besides being the newcomers, Try Again managed to hold Securitas to three draws and one win, with one loss, in their engagements in league matches so far.

According to Securitas player-coach Shumani Makwarela, a draw is a true reflection of the game. "We played well in the first half, with two attempts hitting the crossbar. Our player, Rumanne Mukwevho, could have scored four goals, but it was not his day. The second half was 50/50, as Try also had several opportunities," said Makwarela.

Awelani Ratshivhadelo of Try said he was also happy with the performance of the players. "It is difficult to come home with a point, especially in a derby. The players showed good sportsmanship, and there was no sign of any dirty play," he said.
