Momentum on the Line as Young Punters Host G Zone FC

MWOS FC U17 return to action on Sunday when they host G Zone FC in a Mashonaland West Division 2B Eastern fixture at St Eric, with kick-off set for 12:00 noon.

The Young Punters head into the encounter in high spirits after securing a hard-fought 1-0 away victory over Mhondoro Ngezi Zimhindo FC in their previous outing.

That result extended the team’s positive momentum and demonstrated the character and discipline shown by the young squad on the road.

Attention now turns to another important league assignment as the U17s look to continue climbing the standings in what is proving to be a fiercely competitive campaign.

The Young Punters currently sit ninth on the log with 23 points from 14 matches, having registered seven wins, two draws and five defeats.

Their opponents, G Zone FC, occupy tenth place with 22 points from 14 matches after recording six wins, four draws and four defeats.

Only one point separates the two sides heading into Sunday’s fixture, making it another important test for the Young Punters as they look to continue their climb up the standings.

A victory for the Young Punters would see them leapfrog G Zone FC in the standings and strengthen their pursuit of the teams above them.

The visitors have shown consistency throughout the campaign and will present another stern test for head coach Nyathi’s side that has continued to grow in confidence with each passing week.

With both teams boasting quality in attack and identical defensive records in terms of goals conceded, supporters can expect a competitive battle between two evenly matched sides.

Backed by the home crowd at St Eric, the Young Punters will be aiming to build on last weekend’s success and maintain their upward trajectory in the league.
