Prisons XI on the verge of Premier League return

It has been a long five seasons for Prisons XI in the First Division since their relegation in 2007, but they stand on the brink of a Premier League return following last weekend's first leg of the play-offs.

After a 2-1 away to BR Highlanders, Prisons XI are in a good position to bounce back to the elite league. After being piped to the automatic promotion spot by debutants Security Systems, Prisons had to approach the play-offs with much vigor. But Highlanders proved not to be pushovers as Prisons coach, Digger Montwedi was only saved from humiliation in the dying minutes of the game by veteran striker, Tatenda Mbikiwa and Nkobi 'Fabregas' Kehipile after the two came off the bench in the second half to score the crucial goals.

The fact that Prisons were able to snatch the three points away from home, coming from behind after the hosts surged forward through a second half penalty, demonstrated good character and determination. Though Prisons are currently ahead, nothing is guaranteed and Montwedi and his charges cannot afford to rest on their laurels.
