KADOMA – Hurricanes Academy continued their impressive run in the Division 2B League after claiming a convincing win over Waverly United at Rimuka Stadium yesterday.
The match got off to a flying start when Stephen Kasinamubare opened the scoring just three minutes into the game, capitalising on a defensive lapse to put the Hurricanes in front.
The academy side maintained dominance throughout the first half, with solid midfield control and swift attacks, though they couldn’t add to their tally before the break.
The second goal came in the second half, courtesy of Shepherd Munetsi, one of seven new players unveiled by the team.Introduced as a substitute, Munetsi made an instant impact, finishing off a well-worked move to seal the win.
The result strengthens Hurricanes Academy’s position as one of the in-form teams in the league, with a growing reputation for blending youth development and competitive football.
Coach Takunda Magaya praised his team’s performance and expressed satisfaction with how the new players are integrating into the squad.
“We started strong and managed the game well. I’m happy with how the boys performed,” he said.
Hurricanes Academy will look to carry this momentum into their next fixture as they continue their push for promotion.
Waverly United coach Gift Tembo expressed frustration after his side’s defeat to Hurricanes Academy, pointing to a key moment in the second half where his team was denied what he believes was a clear penalty.He admitted that Hurricanes played well but insisted the officiating let his side down at a crucial stage of the match.
Hurricanes Academy director Mr. Joseph Nemakanga expressed satisfaction after his team’s win over Waverly United but emphasized the need for more fluid and entertaining football going forward.
*”I’m happy with the result — the boys delivered the three points, which is what matters most,”* said Nemakanga. *”However, I’d like to see more flowing and entertaining football as we grow as a team.”*
