Township Rollers moved to the summit of the log standings with a 4-1 win over TAFIC in a BTC Premiership game played in the National Stadium on Wednesday evening.

 The fixture was initially scheduled for last December, but was postponed to last night after a technical failure on the floodlights at the Royal Aria Stadium.

The fixture has always lived up to its billing, as two years ago it featured a hot slap on Edwin Moalosi by the then TAFIC defender, Samuel Phiri while this time around it was hyped up on social media after a series of 'love letters' between the two clubs. However, Popa did not take the humour on the field, as they got on the forefront early on, Tlhalefo Molebatsi nodded home Molaosi's cross on the sixth minute. Popa controlled proceedings that evening until the 40th minute when Batisani Josiah tapped in from close range to level the scores. Rollers were ahead once again three minutes, Motsholetsi Sikele got at end of Molebatsi's cross to give Rollers the lead into the break.
