Eventful weekend for football fans

02 Oct 2014

The be Mobile Premier League resumes today (October 3)  and sparks are expected to fly at the University of Botswana stadium, when the current defending champions, Township Rollers, face the new comers Letlapeng.

There is no doubt that the game will be more tactical, looking at the fact that both teams did not do well in their last games, Township Rollers were relegated to position four in the log standing after playing to a one-all draw, against Sankonyo Bush Bucks.

On one hand, Letlapeng were beaten by Mochudi Centre Chiefs  one-nil and currently occupy position 14, therefore it remains to be seen if Letlapeng can cause an upset.

Now that Letlapeng have roped in a new coach, Nelson Olebile, all eyes will be on him, to see if he can turn tables around for “the Rock of ages”

In other games to be played on October 4, bottom placed Ecco City Green will travel to Lobatse, where they will have a date with the rejuvenated Extension Gunners who are in position six.

The encouter would be equally interesting given that Mapantsula will want to increase their points, for they know that if they blink,  their dreams of clinching the championship this season will be shattered.

Ecco City Greens who have never won a single game,  might want to redeem their pride with Mapantsula, and should they win they will have only four points out of seven games played.

The current log leaders, Mochudi Center Chiefs will travel to Selebi Phikwe to play against Nico United; Gaborone United which has been blowing hot and cold will have a date with Orapa United at Molepolole Sports Complex.

Notwane will travel to Maun, to battle it out Sankonyo Bush Bucks beaming with confidence after demolishing BR Highlanders 5-2 in their last encounter.

On Sunday October 5, BR Highlanders will have a date with BDF XI at Serowe Sports complex, Football Club Satmos will be up against Motlakase Power Dynamos at Selibe Phikwe Stadium, and Police X1 and high riding BMC will take their battle to Sir Seretse Khama Barracks stadium, all game starts 3:30pm.
