The last-16-round matches for the Zwonaka and Lutande Eating House Soccer Tournament will be played at the Tshivhilwi Grounds this weekend. Four matches will be played on Saturday, with the same number of matches scheduled for Sunday.
Saturday's programme will be opened by the match between Makhuvha Up The Ants and Ngwenani Young Chiefs at 09:00. Should they fail to secure a place in the quarter-final round, Young Chiefs will have only themselves to blame. Up The Ants, who beat Tshanzhe Pre-Mighty 2-1 at the same venue last Saturday, are campaigning in the Thulamela Local Football Association League, while Young Chiefs are affiliated to the Safa Vhembe Regional Association.
Nweli Stone Breakers will try their luck against Vondwe XI Bullets soon after the opening game. Sambandou United Professionals will entertain Mukula Avalon shortly after midday. The day's programme will be wrapped up by the Tshaulu derby between Tshaulu Hungry Lions and Buluni Happy Boys. Hungry Lions are still in joyous mood after they unexpectedly rose to the occasion and beat Madridtas FC 5-4 in their opening match last Saturday.
Musasenda Big Five will lock horns with Zwaloni FC in their opening match on Sunday morning. Zwaloni's way to the last-16 round went via Phandulaluvalo FC, whom they narrowly beat 1-0 last Saturday. The hosts, Tshivhilwi Young Bombers, will have a date with Tshibvumo Football Academy in the next fixture, which is scheduled to start at 11:00.
Berea FC will meet Tswera Hot Chilies in what promises to be a thriller. Berea are one of the hot favourites to lift the trophy, while Hot Chilies have a reputation of spoiling the party. Tshimuthe FC will battle it out against Mulindathavha Ocean Swallows later in the afternoon. This one is scheduled to start at 15:00.
