Gweru Soccer Lovers Downbeat Over TelOne, Chapungu Relegation

Castle Lager Premier Soccer League followers in Gweru have expressed disappointment following the relegation of Chapungu and TelOne to Division On.

The two clubs, which are both based in the Midlands Provincial capital, were both relegated on the final day of the 2019 season and will join Hwange and Mushowani Stars to the lower division. Speaking to New Ziana in Gweru, Chipo Mutekesa of Mtapa high-density suburb said:

I thought we had been blessed to have three Premier Soccer League teams in Gweru but alas, it was not to be. This is sad news to us football lovers in Gweru.

At least we have Whawha FC in the Premier Soccer League and we hope that they will live up to expectations and survive relegation. We also pray that Chapungu and TelOne will correct their mistakes and bounce back in the near future.

Meanwhile, Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Service outfit, Whawha FC gained promotion to the Premier League and will be the only Gweru-based club that will play in the topflight in 2020.
