SPORTS REPORTER -

The 2014-15 Bulawayo Metropolitan province First League season gets underway this weekend with the match pitting former champions eMakhandeni and Queens Sports Club headlining the first day of action.

The match will be staged at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.

Bulawayo Athletic Club will be up against Roosters in the other big game on Saturday.

Speaking to The Zimbabwe Mail, Queens club chairman Victor Mhlanga called on participating teams to ensure their squads are registered and their affiliation fees are paid ahead of the registration deadline at close of business today.

“I would like to urge all the participating team to come forth while there is still time to avoid disappointment as games are on this Saturday and on Sunday.

“There is nothing more pleasing than to be involved in something that is properly organized and has its rules and regulations adhered to,” he said.

The First League will be resuming over the weekend with games played under official ICC rules.

But in an effort to make things interesting and increase the level of competition, the board introduced system that rewards the aggressive teams. Under the new system, a bonus point will be awarded to every side which bowls out its opponents in 40 overs
