BLACK Mambas will return to ZIFA Northern Region Division One league action after a three-week break to face PAM United at Morris Depot this afternoon.

The police outfit were away at the SAPCCO games in Angola and will play catch up to log leaders Cranborne Bullets, who have opened up an 11-point lead.

John “Toto” Ncube’s side will be without Brighton Marivadze, who is suspended for the Week 21 fixture after accumulating three yellow cards.

Warumwa Warumwa had a good outing at the SAPCCO Games where they finished runners-up to Namibia.

“We are ready and we are focusing on each game as it comes, we are happy that we remained second despite being ineffective for several weeks.

“The position we are on gives us confidence to do well.

“The boys are in good shape as they were playing competitive matches as well and they are looking forward for maximum points,” said Ncube.

In the match played yesterday at Motor Action, Herentals Unde-20 drew 1-1 with Black Tigers.

Herentals coach Paul Benza said they were just unlucky not to collect maximum points.
