ESTEEMED followers of the game of football, thank you for finding time for interaction. Next Monday is Christmas Day and as per this holiday’s tradition Gamechanger is sending out a letter to Santa Claus – an epistle beseeching fertility and cursing futility for our local game.

You know, Dear Reader, that Yours Truly is no kid to be seeking engagement with this hypothetical creature that is said to visit only during such festive period but, hey, even grown-ups have their wishes, too!

Friday Football Echoes is, therefore, kidding not about this matter! And we will keep it short and simple so it be sweet to Santa, the personification of the spirit of Christmas, and not too much of an asking.

The fervent request is that Santa Claus delivers us a present in the form of another club resident in Mutare getting promoted into the Premiership, while Mutare City Rovers also get to stay up in the top-tier division. This will effectively give us our first ever taste of the Mutare Derby in the elite league.

Here in the Eastern Highlands we are truly mad about our football and our other wish is that there be more corporate partners for our teams in this diamond-rich province.

In such a month of fertility like December, during which we also celebrate the birth of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, that a new kid – Manica Diamonds FC – has just bounced onto our football block must have been Santa-sent!

Because he is such a benevolent gift-giving benefactor, we trust that in the intervening period between now and the following Christmas Mr Claus’ assistants, the elves, would have made us enough presents to fulfil our football wishes – exactly this time next year we want beaming smiles radiantly playing on our faces for reindeers pulling those laden sleighs shall be gleefully endowing our local game.

A prosperous season and fruitful campaign for our local clubs is all our football hearts’ desire, and can bring us blissful cheer for the 2018 Christmas!

For our end of the bargain, Santa Claus, we swear to be no puppets that soil our own soccer – our pledge is to be good-natured on the field and well-meaning in administration.

HO! HO! HO!! MERRY CHRISTMAS, esteemed followers of the game of football!

It’s Game On, Play On!
