Chaminuka’s homecoming CAPS United assistant coach Saul Chaminuka is savouring the homecoming moment at Sakubva when they clash with Motor Action in the first round of the Mbada Diamonds Cup this Saturday. Chaminuka, who spent the last one-and-half seasons in Mutare with Buffaloes, will be back at Sakubva for the first time since June, when he parted ways with the army side. And for him, returning to Sakubva feels more like returning home and hopes that the Mutare crowd will warmly embrace him for the good memories they shared during his 18 months at Buffaloes. “It’s more like playing at home and I’m loving it. I think it’s a plus for us in terms of planning. I know the advantages and disadvantages of playing on that pitch and hopefully, that will work to our good,” said Chaminuka. CAPS United will be hoping to lay a strong challenge in the Mbada Diamonds Cup this year after falling short in the first two editions. The Green Machine, who earned the nickname “Cup Kings” in the past because of their successes in knock-out competitions, appear in good shape this season and could be a team to watch following a good run in the league competition under the tutelage of Chaminuka and head coach Taurai Mangwiro. But they will be praying problems that rocked their camp last week will not come back to haunt them after averting a labour unrest which nearly threatened their participation in this tournament. Chaminuka said he was encouraged by the mood in their camp as the players appear to have put everything behind them. CAPS United resumed training on Monday and immediately shifted their focus on the lucrative Mbada Diamonds Cup with their players responding well to the management call. #xmr
