Mabviravira clinched the title in their debut top-flight season, becoming only the second team to achieve the feat since Independence, following Black Rhinos\u2019 triumph in 1985.<\/p>\n<p>The Tonderai Ndiraya-coached side, who made several key signings in June, reached an unassailable 65 points after opening a seven-point lead with just two matches remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Scottland\u2019s emphatic victory was inspired by goals from Tymon Machope\u2019s brace, Khama Billiat, Ronald Pfumbidzai, and Tadiwa Chakuchichi.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, this marks a second successive league title for coach Ndiraya, who also lifted the trophy last season with Simba Bhora.<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related Posts<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- .entry-content
