Simba Bhora head coach Tonderai Ndiraya is celebrating after leading the club to their first-ever Castle Lager Premier Soccer League title. Ndiraya’s historic achievement came on Wednesday when his side secured a 1-0 victory over relegated Arenel, marking the club’s maiden league triumph and the first of his managerial career.

The Shamva-based team sealed the championship with two matches still to play, finishing with an uncatchable 66 points.

In an interview after the match, Ndiraya expressed his joy: “We are absolutely thrilled as a club to win the championship.

We’ve been working hard all season, and to achieve this goal is incredibly rewarding. I believe this was our 20th or 21st win, if I’m not mistaken.

“That was our target from the start of the year — we knew that 20 wins would likely secure the title, and I’m proud that we’ve managed to do it.”

Ndiraya also took the opportunity to thank everyone involved in the club’s success: “Credit goes to our management, especially our president, Simbarashe Ndoro, the board, the executive committee, the technical team, the secretariat, and of course, the players. The players were the ones putting in the hard work, and our supporters have always been behind us. This victory is for the entire province.”
