Just noticed doing the formatting edits: club logos don't match the clubs in the fixture list?

katundu kings relegated or bvute @ work ?
plus 2 takashinga clubs ? Seems useless again to
me just a front fromzc to say they are helping in
development but just giving the not gud enuf players
some game time

Noted the teams have changed after the conclusion of the 2015/16 season. I will see if the Logos have been updated and share with the forumites team profiles and squads. The tournament may see teams being forced to take as many as four national team players which has not gone down well with some teams which have little or no national team representation. The clubs have sited continued abscence and non commitment of national team players to club cricket which is a requirement within most players contracts.

As for Katundu Kings they failed to get back to the ZPL and defend their title as they finshed 5th in the Vigne Cup due to a much depeleted side but i trust they will make aserious fight back next season

Good stuff. Thanks.

Rainbow held their nerve to win a tense final over against bitter Rivals Takashinga 1 Patriots by 15 runs.The win at the death was sealed thanks to 6 overs of death bowling lead by Daniel Jakiel and Kuda Munyede for the win. The Patriots won the toss and placed RCC into bat who set a gettable 220 in their 40 overs lead by an agressive 67 from Bright Njanji and a 40 by Tino Mafusire.Rainbow started poorly with the fall if the first wicket within the first over.Up stepped Kuda Munyede who bated a 3 to steady the ship along side simba Gupo with a sparkling 28 before Gupo was bowled by Nigel Mupurura.The. loss of the wicket brought Njanji who put the sword to Welly Masakadza and Mutombidzi with some huge sixes to score 67.Enter Mafusire who played the finishing role to sciore a brisk 40 in setting 220.Takashinga started the run chase with some lusty hitting from Tinashe Kamunhukamwe with him being harsh on Charles Chivhu to raise the takaz 50 within 6 overs .Enter Munyede who along with Wesley Madhevere who slowed the scoring rate.Kamunhukamwe was bowled for 33 by Munyede. Before a horible runout between a well set Mutombodzi and Mlambo .The third wicket went to Milton Shumba who took. A return catch with his first delivery to dismiss Mlambo.Roy Kaia came to the crease with full intent and set about chasing the score as he took a liking to Shumba and A woeful Njanji as he scored 45 before munyede can on to take another wicket.Takaz had the platform and were charging to victory before Jakiel came back to deliver toe crushers to Welly Masakadza then a brilliant catch at 45 by Madvehere to dismiss Sharara who was set
