RELEGATED Tripple B put on a well polished act to draw with How Mine in a Castle Premier Soccer League match at Dulibadzimu yesterday.

Tshintsha Magiya drew the first blood to end their dance with the top flight league on a decent note after they fell to 1-4 and 0-5 at home to Chicken Inn and Triangle respectively.

Tripple B coach Peter Manoti decided to play more attacking football yesterday when he put in more attack minded players in his side.
How Mine were victims of too much complacency after they went into the match with victory already in their minds.

The match started off on a high note with the Beitbridge boys seeking to collect all the maximum points.

Llyod Chiwaridzo nearly put Tshintsha Magiya in the lead in the first 15 minutes when he sent in a powerful shot which was collected by Ephraim Mazarura.

Chiwaridzo who combined very well with Alick Marime, Makai Kawashu and Maxwell Mavhuto struck again after 20 minutes but he found Mazarura equal to the task.

Kawashu opened the scores in the 24th minute when he took advantage of Mazarura who was way off his line to send a volley from a Mavhuto pass.

Qinani Sibanda tried to steal a goal in a well orchestrated counter attack by the visitors but his drive was well collected by Prince Dube.

Former Dynamos striker Marime nearly made it two for Tshintsha Magiya but his shot narrowly missed the goal posts after being set by Micheal Variso in the 40th minute.

How Mine came back into the match just before the break when Menard Mupera sent in a powerful shot from a free kick which took a deflection of Mavhuto’s back and beat Dube.
