The MWOS FC Queens extended their impressive unbeaten streak (since the end of the mid-season break) with a hard-fought and entertaining 2-2 draw against Harare City Cubs Queens at Callies Sports Club on Saturday. The result underscores the team’s growing resilience and fighting spirit, solidifying their position as a formidable force in the women’s league.

The Punters made the perfect start, seizing the initiative with an early goal from the in-form Marian Genti. The early breakthrough settled the nerves and demonstrated the Queens’ intent to control the game from the front foot against a challenging opponent.
