Dynamos have thrust themselves firmly into the 2026 Castle Lager Premier Soccer League title conversation after sealing a 2-1 victory over Hardrock FC in the completion of their previously abandoned fixture on Thursday.
The Glamour Boys resumed the match from the 76th minute, following a Premier Soccer League disciplinary ruling that ordered the remaining 14 minutes to be played behind closed doors after the original encounter at Chahwanda Stadium was abandoned due to crowd trouble in May. Both clubs were fined for their roles in the incident, with Dynamos also sanctioned for damage to the stadium perimeter fence, while Hardrock were cited for inadequate security.
