FORMER Highlanders player, Gabriel “Granvia” Nyoni makes a quick return to Barbourfields Stadium this afternoon when his new team, Caps United clash with Bosso in what promises to be an exciting match.

Nyoni, a Highlanders player from July 2013 decided to part ways with Bosso at the end of last year when he did not renew his contract. For someone who was part of the Highlanders leadership and had his best season ever with Amahlolanyama last year when he scored six league goals, it certainly will be an emotional moment for him.

Remembered for removing his shorts to reveal black and white boxer shorts when he scored his first ever goal for Highlanders in a league encounter against Monomotapa at Barbourfields in September 2013, Nyoni was nicknamed “Granvia” by Bosso fans because of his speed.

The speedy winger is not the only former Bosso player at Makepekepe with striker Newman Sianchali, a Highlanders player last season who also found the target six times in the league now at Caps United. Nyoni, Sianchali join another former Highlanders son, Joel “Josta” Ngodzo at Caps United.

Emotions aside, the three have a point to prove against Highlanders and have a huge part to play as Caps United plot to walk away with the three points from Emagumeni. On what part could Nyoni and Sianchali play in the downfall of Highlanders this afternoon, Bosso first team coach, Bekithemba Ndlovu feels that with the game evolving, they have no fears that the two could give away Amahlolanyama’s game plan.

“Game plans and strategies always change, they were here we were using them, now we are using different strategies and game plans so they would not know what we are doing,” Ndlovu said.State media
