   Seventh Day Adventist although home teams have the prerogative in
   deciding match date; match not played due to poor lighting; on Sep 30
   it was ruled that Amazulu forfeited the match as they had agreed to

   yet failed to do so; on Dec 14 (!) the ZIFA appeals committee ruled
   the match should be replayed after all]

    six 0-3 losses during the season (against Triangle (twice), 
    Gutu Leopards, Redwing, South East Athletico and Blue Swallows),
    for failure to show up or causing the abandonment of the matches,
    and have appealed desiring all six matches to be replayed;
    after rejection of their appeal, they merged with Eiffel Flats
    to form Eiffel Wildcats for 2005.

    Rusape, United Lions, Morningside and Redwing were relegated.

NB: on Nov 23, Goromonzi Spar were declared winners, but following
    a protest by Watford it was ruled in January 2005 that Watford 
    were allowed to replay four matches (against Goromonzi Spar, 
    Centenary Tigers, Founders of Joy and Jumbo Giants) which they
    had originally lost by walkover;
    while even four wins would only lift them to 70 points (and
    Goromonzi Spar down to 72), ZIFA Northern Region suddenly
    declared Watford champions and promoted in February.
