FC Broadhurst: FC Broadhurst honours Valentine's day

The woman power was really felt as Broadhurst F C suspended this weekend's match to allow players time to be with their loved ones on Valentine's day

The eagerly awaited return leg between Broadhurst F C and Gaborone central F C was postponed to a later date to be advised, as Valentine's day claimed its first of a number of scalps. With Gaborone Central F C raring to go and itching for revenge of the defeat they suffered earlier in the season, Broadhurst F C had to issue an emergency apology as most of the players were committed to other fixtures which could not be postponed.

Impeccable sources say that Mr Benjamin Sibanda (mukwerekwere) cancelled the Central game

on short notice as he, together with the notorious duo of Freedmore Sidume (my ball my ball) and Thulani Moyo (amasimba) had planned to spoil their wives and enjoy a valentine's camp out as couples. The outing is understood to have been planned in a cloud of secrecy.

This decision however, did not go down well with players like Rony, Tinashe, Simba and Zeal who just can't spend a weekend without doing what they know best: which is showcasing their skills on the field of play. Mr Moses Vurayai also had to suffer a great disappointment as he had to stay home after a fierce battle with his wife to obtain a visa for today's match. As understanding as they usually are, the rest of the players posted a message on their website wishing the valentine trio success on their respective fixtures, it was still however not known whether a referee would have been needed for these matches.

On a positive note, one commentator noted that the move to cancel the fixture may prove to be one which is worthwhile in future, as after spoiling partners (whether in the bush or in Gaborone) on valentines day, it is expected that there will be an increase in the number of approved visas for future fixtures, and that the team will be with full tanks in the next matches.
