Highlanders’ Under-15 side has been docked a massive 27 points in the Bulawayo Juniors Serie A League for using an uncleared player, Rockey Muleya, since the beginning of the season.

Zifa Bulawayo Province chairman, Francis Ntuta said the Bulawayo Junior League said regulations state teams should seek a clearance from a player’s previous team before registration.
“Players can move to any new team without hindrance however we agreed that a team should have a clearance from the previous team,” he said.

They are just two points above log anchors, Iminyela Timers.

In the under-13 log, Bosso is on position five with 23 points while on the under-17 log it sits seventh with 19 points.
