Shabanie Mine head coach Takesure Chiragwi is confident of his team’s chances of avoiding relegation after his team conjured up a 1-0 victory over the title contenders Ngezi Platinum Stars at Maglas stadium yesterday.

‘My guys did very well and this win gives us confidence going forward to our next encounter at the next weekend”, said Chiragwi.

” We are playing to survive relegation and we will keep on fighting although we are playing under difficult circumstances , we will keep on fighting.

‘The spirit in these boys is good they don’t want to be relegated, they want to keep on playing in the premiership and we want Shabani Mine to remain in the premiership and that is our objective as a club.”
Shabanie are on position 15 on the league table putting them in the relegation maze.
