NB: the Dynamos vs Railstars match was scheduled for Sep 24 but
    postponed following legal action by Zimbabwe Saints, who
    obtained a High Court injunction against the match being
    played; Saints claimed they didn't walk off on Aug 11 but
    the referee refused to restart the game after they had
    finished protesting against Railstars' extra time goal,
    which according to Saints was scored when they had only
    six men on the pitch, the rest being injured, sent off,
    or praying.  Interestingly they only protested after
    Railstars were drawn a lucrative home match against Dynamos
    in the round of sixteen, and not before Railstars' first
    round match away to Buffalo Hardware (a loss-making tie).
    Eventually, Railstars were scheduled to play Dynamos away
    and were notified of the fixture 2 days before the match.
