Highlanders beat Gunners to keep top spot

Highlanders were in a class of their own and did not really need to impress to dispatch stubborn Gunners 1-0 at Barbourfields on Sunday afternoon, that solitary goal coming off Milton Ncube.

Bosso, not worried or concerned about records they are setting or can set, were masters of their game, steering the match with cautious but true control to affirm the grip of the leadership of the top spot.

Several times, could they have scored earlier or extended their lead later, which proved to be immaterial, but the victory was a confidence booster and sent a strong signal of their intention to wrap this thing early.

Tshilamoya have not tasted defeat in the 2012 Castle Premier League season that has seen their transformation reminding people of what joy can be. Season ago, the sleeping giants had become weeping boys and their resurgent and vintage performance against a team that humiliated them last season was sweet revenge.

Not that the win came in a silver platter. Scary and heart-stopping moments were inevitable as the visitors were baying for blood looking to spoil the party.

It was enough for the solitary first half header to keep the team's 18-match unbeaten run intact.
