Dynamos new coach Herbert Maruwa is slowly finding his feet as his charges beat Cranborne Bullets in Saturday’s two pre-season friendlies played at Vengere Stadium in Rusape.

DeMbare won 2-0 in the first match before registering a similar victory in the second game of the day.

In the first encounter, new signings Jayden Bakari and Eli Ilunga were on target in either half for the visitors.

Ilunga opened the scoring in the 9th minute with a long-range effort before Bakari doubled the lead later in the second period.

Both sides made completely different starting XIs for the second match which kicked off soon after the first tie.

Elvis Moyo broke the deadlock in the 37th minute after connecting a corner and Emmanuel Paga sealed the victory for Dynamos on the stroke of the hour.

Meanwhile, the match was DeMbare’s third pre-season encounter after they faced PSL newcomers Sheasham and Division Two side Mabvuku United in past three weeks.
