By Perkins-Tino Bare After the South African Sports Minister earlier this week banned a total of four sports association from bidding or hosting any major tournaments the race card is being whipped out once again as the discussions all around are over correcting the injustices that were done to the blacks during apartheid. One thign that stuck out in the ban was that the associations were responsible as they failed to meet their own set targets and there could not therefore blame the minister nor the government for imposing a target that was not viable in the set time.

It worked for both sides as they showed no respect for each other with Bosso enjoying most of the play. The first goal of the match came in the 20 th minute as Bruce Kangwa got the opener for Bosso. In the 23 rd minute he was at it again on the left flank this time around combining with Knox Mutizwa before he squared the ball beautifully in the box though it had no takers. The Gamecocks kept looking for that equaliser and it did not take them long either to level matters. Passmore Bernanrd charged on the right flank before he
