Systems held league champions Township Rollers to a 1-1 draw in a mid-week clash while GU were fresh from a 3-1 away win against Green Lovers. With only 13 minutes into the game, Omphile Sebolai committed the first foul as he brought down Tumisang Orebonye in front of the box but Mpho Kgaswane hit the wall with his free kick. Two minutes later at the other end, Mgcini Sibanda played one-two passes with Sebolai who skied his effort. In the 33rd minute Thabiso Khunwane brought down Molebeledi Gabofiwe in the box and the referee did not hesitate and pointed to the spot. GU’s former defender, Osego Gaotewe stepped up and made no mistake as he sent Goitseone Phoko the wrong way to put one behind his former employers in the 34th minute. Moyagoleele levelled matters three minutes to the break through Kgaswane. Jackson Lesole won the ball in the middle of the park, passed to Kabelo Seakanyeng who beat a defender with pace and laid in the path of Kgaswane who fired past the keeper with a low shot to the left bottom corner. The teams went in to the break level.

The first chance of the second half came from Vincent Lekorwe whose header went into Goitseone Phoko’s hands in the 53rd minute. Systems’ coach, Thaloba Nthaga replaced Lekorwe and Onkgolotse Senatla with Galefetoge Kenaope and Mpho Gaoboitsiwe respectively. The changes paid dividends in 69th minute as Phoko parried Kenaope’s shot into Gaboitsiwe’s path who slammed into an empty net to give Systems the lead. Substitute Moatlhodi Ralesotla missed a chance to level matters as his header went wide with only three minutes to time.

Editor's Comment
Congratulations Anicia Gaothuse!

The contest had 10 beautiful young girls as finalists and unfortunately only one could wear the crown.The judges picked Anicia Gaothuse. To all those who feel their contestant should have won ahead of Anicia for whatever reason, hardly; the judges found Anicia to be the best among the best, so desist from disrespecting our newly crowned queen on social media or anywhere else, for that matter! Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
