ALL eyes will be on rejuvenated FC Pirates when they face Tigers in a Bulawayo Social Soccer League encounter in Makokoba this morning.
FC Pirates have AmaZulu and Highlanders player Farai Mujokoro in their ranks. Ever since Mujokoro traced his roots back from across the border in South Africa he has given the team a new lease of life. From the dead he has raised the once struggling team, to date they have posted attention-grabbing results, a situation that has seen the team gradually moving up the ladder with each passing match day.
The race for the BSSL title is still on after all the teams in contention won their respective matches last week to keep the log leaders Stars FC in sight. Stars FC host Brotherhood at their favourite hunting ground Ndola, and expected of the champions not much resistance is expected from their opponents. Their nearest rivals and stumbling block to the throne Man U host one of BSSL light weights Magwegwe Bullets who are expected to give a dosage of fire so as keep in touch with the log leaders.
