Pastor Ncube rescues Broadhurst

A visibly tired Broadhurst team needed divine intervention to avoid what was virtually an inevitable defeat having let go their two nil lead at half time allowing a nameless G-West team come from behind and shoot into a 3-2 lead.

Pastor Ncube who last played soccer in ages came in the second half just in the nick of time and the heavens surely rewarded the industry of the man of the cloth by letting his boot let loose a curling shoot that the goal keeper could only watch as it moved at supersonic speed past him. Infact even if he had reacted he could not reach for it as it was curling away from the centre of the goal and passing the goal line via the top corner of the goal.

Bra Hlo played another blinder of a game - running willy nilly at the opponents' midfielders and defenders. He was really enjoying himself and his spirit was willing to carry on but the flesh was now weak and stand in coach, Benjamin Sibanda pulled him out and in came Pastor Ncube.

The nameless G-West team had employed the services of one football vagabond, Zex in the hopes that he would terrorize Broadhurst but Parkers, Gideon and Thando had other ideas. The usually dependable Zex was belittled to an ordinary left footed footballer.

Zex and his team mates managed to pull back two quick goals courtesy of FC Broadhurst's tired legs. When they grabbed the third, it seemed as if Broadhurst had been relegated to another defeat but there was enough arsenal on the bench to salvage a draw.

But it did not have to end as a draw with Broadhurst holding on for dear life since they could have finished off the nameless team in the first half where the team enjoyed acres of space and possession, creating countless goal scoring opportunities. As become the norm, those scoring chances were squandered.
