FORMER Premier Soccer League side Hwange FC’s quest for an imminent return to the topflight is on track after shooting to the top of the ZIFA Southern Region Division One League.
Chipangano, under the tutelage of veteran coach Rodwell Dhlakama are enjoying a one-point cushion after a one-all draw with Eagles.
The miners capitalised on a lapse on concentration by another former PSL side Bulawayo Chiefs who were handed a 2-1 defeat by ambitious Nkayi United.
The Twitter Boys now trail Chipangano by one point after nine rounds of matches.
Amakhosi Amahle now under the guidance of Bekithemba Ndlovu are failing to fire from all cylinders after the unceremonious exit of tactician Maxwell Takaendesa Jongwe.
Chiefs have two wins, one draw and two losses under Ndlovu.
In the Northern Region, Agama and N’ombeyawora posted identical one-nil wins to intensify the race.
Agama are on 28 points after 12 matches while N’ombeyawora are a point behind having played the same number of matches with Golden Eagles in third, four points behind.
In the Central Region, undefeated Sheasham are still in control on 29 points although Hardrock are a point shy in second spot.
The Construction Boys scored five times past a hapless MSU as Hardrock edged Blanket Mine one-nil.
In the Easten region, FC Hunters lead the pack on 26 points, while Tenax are on second spot on 25 points.
