GNT, Hotspurs share spoils

FRANCISTOWN: Great North Tigers (GNT) put on a valiant effort on Saturday afternoon at the Tagala Primary School grounds here in Francistown to hold third placed Mahalapye Hotspurs to a 1-1 draw.

Hotspurs got onto the score sheet first after a Goabaone Segaise strike in the 11th minute. The home side then replied in the 73rd minute with a lame incursion from Barulaganye Radiakanyo following a goalmouth melee. It was a reward for GNT, who in the second half were unleashing an onslaught following a quiet first-half. GNT played like a dedicated side in the second stanza, but were unable to punish their visiting counterparts. Both sides have themselves to blame for not collecting maximum points.

The two sides had fair chances in the game of two halves played on a windy Saturday afternoon. The home side did not bother the Hotspurs defense that was manned by former Township Rollers stalwart in Oageng Raditsebe. Probably due to lack of match fitness, Radiakanyo, who led the strike force failed to click in the first half. Forgotten midfielder Mothibedi Tichana was not at his best in the middle of the park.
