Last weekend, the game aborted with Letlapeng leading 2-0 at the Ramotswa Showground. The match had started under clear skies but out of the blue, a dark cloud from the western side formed and within minutes there was a heavy downpour that made the pitch unplayable. Although Letlapeng officials including coach Enos Mmesi felt the match should have continued, it was clear the match had to be abandoned. The pitch was atrociously soggy and caused Tigers' goalkeeper to injure himself when he slipped and collided with one of his teammates.
Before the rain, fans were treated to a good brand of football especially in the second half when it was now clear that Letlapeng were determined to close the gap between them and Prisons XI and Black Peril at the top. A win would have taken the Rock of Ages to 32 points, five behind leaders Black Peril. The first half was not eventful as both teams lacked cohesion and lost possession. Tigers especially entered the match on a low note perhaps still thinking they are the underdogs and their early defensive approach clearly demonstrated intentions to minimise damage.
