Let's play: The First Division South league will continue with the old committee

The First Division South League officials have been retained unopposed following elections in Gaborone over the weekend. The chairperson of the committee running the league, Tariq Babitseng said their re-election is a sign that they are doing things right.

He said when they were voted into office two years back, they had a plan to take football in the division to greater heights. He said they achieved their goals and improved communication with clubs. “We are in the process of organising a retreat for clubs. That will be a platform for us to discuss our challenges. The issue of the Debswana sponsorship is expected to be discussed. At the moment, a portion of the money goes to grants. We want to start the season on a clean slate. We do not want to be divided,” he said.

He said the only way for the sport to grow, is for the clubs and officials to work together. Babitseng said clubs are happy with the P6 million sponsorship they got from diamond mining giant, Debswana. The three-year deal was struck last year with 80 percent of funds going to clubs, transport and accommodation expenses for players.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
