    May the souls of Adam and the lady rest in eternal peace. I wish Peter a speedy recovery. I remembered Adam when they had won with Murambadoro in the goalie and in celebrating Adam was firing an imaginary gun and the players all fell at his shooting and Murambadoro overdid the dive and Oh… such moments no more. Thank you mfowethu you were great. Chivige s.c.
