Defaulter claims hit first Pool league

The University of Botswana (UB) Pool Club has lodged a protest saying that Matsubutsubu Pool Club used two defaulters when the two teams clashed in the league. Their query is that the unnamed players had not been registered, but were allowed to play. The issue has since delayed the prize giving ceremony, which was scheduled for last weekend. UB captain, Pako Monageng said they noticed immediately after the game and informed BBC but were surprised when they were not docked points. He said they expect Matsubutsubu to lose such points, which will enable his side to finish second in the league.  

The league comprised four teams in the men’s category with the same teams also bringing their women sides. Acres Pool Club finished the league at the top and will pocket P10,000. Matsubutsubu who are accused of using defaulters finished second and will walk away with P5,000 while UB and Botho University finished third and fourth respectively.
