YOUTHFUL Manicaland Division Two outfit Final Touch FC are keeping their eyes on the prize after opening a five-point lead at the summit of the log standings, but the very thought of the financial clout needed to sustain life in Eastern Region Division One League is giving the club leadership some goosebumps.
Manicaland Division Two has a total of 20 teams.
Final Touch have been ruthless in most of their league matches and in the most recent league encounter, the youngsters from Dangamvura suburb in Mutare thrashed Africa University five-nil.
Happymore Songeya, the team’s secretary for information and publicity, said: “Going forward, we want to take every point available, fight to finish at the top and try to go to the next level which is Division One.
“Our biggest worry is that our finances and the Division One requirements are miles apart. We are appealing to individuals and corporates who would like to partner us in this exciting project to come on board. We will grow their brands with the good image.”
