A scintillating Army Derby is on the cards in the Women’s Super league this weekend as third placed Black Rhinos host log leaders Chapungu Queens at Kaguvi Barracks in Harare.
Defending champions, Black Rhinos, who are just three points behind log leaders Chapungu know that another victory will take them to the apex of the Women’s Super League.
Rhinos are playing catch up after missing the first few weekends of the season due to COVID-19 related issues within their camp.
However, that has not stopped the star-studded team from notching an impressive seven wins out of seven matches.
This has left Black Rhinos Queens with 21 points, just a point behind second placed Herentals, who have played a game more.
With Herentals on a bye this weekend, Rhinos will be hoping for another victory to leapfrog the Students, but it is easier said than done as they face a familiar foe, on top of its game.
Chapungu Queens have been playing well and only lost one match this season against Herentals and they will pose a big challenge to Black Rhinos especially with the two teams having trained together at one point.
The match has all the ingredients of a thriller with Rhinos, who are yet to concede this season, fighting to topple their cousins, while Chapungu will be battling to be the better army side.
