Ruyamuro Northern Region Division One: Match day 26 roundup

Herentals U-20 beat Karoi United 2-0 at Motor Action Sports Club, a result which saw them return to the summit of the table.

Jimmy Jamu’s brace was all that Paul Benza’s title-chasing side needed to collect maximum points. They are now on 54 points, one ahead of second-placed Simba Bhora.

Simba Bhora had Ronald Chitiyo to thank, after the former Zimbabwe international rescued a point for them with a brilliant solo effort, in the 1-1 draw with Golden Valley at Rimuka.

Trojan Stars began life under Webster Chingozi on a losing note as they were beaten 0-1 at home by Ngezi U-19.

Elvis Mweha silenced the home crowd in the 74th minute and that goal was the difference between the two sides.

At Kuwadzana Stadium, Prince Mayembe’s solitary strike propelled resurgent PAM FC to a 1-0 victory over a battling Chegutu Pirates while CUMA Academy and Harare City Cubs played out a goalless draw in Kadoma.
