Fixtures manager challenged

Following another convincing win over the weekend, Benjamin Sibanda, FC Broadhurst Fixtures Manager has been called to seek better opponents as the team seeks challenging encounters.

It comes as no surprise that none of the team's players even knows the name of the team they beat 5-3 this past Sunday and this punctuates the mediocre state of that day's opponents. Playing Coach Bongs' favourite formation of 4-3-3, Broadhurst went for the half time break leading 3-0 though the margin could have been arrogantly wider had Benji been clinical with his finishes - he chose power when the easier thing to do was to place the ball beyond a hapless keeper.

Letting the foot off the paddle in the second half got the Broadhurst's nameless opponents a chance to grab three quick goals and there was nothing the coach could do as he was the game's referee. But experience won the day as the team managed to regroup and put the game beyond reach by two well orchestrated goals.

This is the match that saw Thutsi play a blinder - making surging runs from right back and swinging into the 18 yard area tempting dangerous crosses. The opponents had "killed" his wing opting to attack through the centre of the park and via the left wing but their game plan flopped.

Instead of celebrating victory players led by Zeal Murapa who had been very wasteful in front of goal in the second half, urged the fixtures manager to find better opponents as the team is now tired of easy wins that some likened to "stroll in the park."

The message seems to have been heard as Benji quickly organised a match with Chipolopolo who looked like a team to beat and humble according to their display during a match at the National stadium arena this past Sunday. Two of their easily noticed players are their wide right midfielder who seems to like running at defenders and their striker who is skillful.
