A test of strength

After humiliating Gaborone United (GU) 3-0 in their last meeting in the Premier League, Notwane face a test of strength when they meet their city rivals in the first semi-final of the Orange Kabelano Charity Cup tomorrow at the National Stadium. The game starts at 9am and is a repeat of last year's semi-final when Toronto overcame GU to reach the final against eventual champions, Township Rollers.

Once again Notwane will have to prove that they are GU's bogey team though there have been doubts over their preparedness ahead of the Charity Cup. In their last seven games of the 2006-2007 season, Notwane were a shadow of themselves.
This was partly explained by the death of coach Banks Panene. But now with the return of the Zimbabwean coach Paul Moyo, there is hope among Notwane supporters that the club will start competing strongly for honours. Though many would say it is too early to judge the veteran coach, tomorrow will give a clear picture as to what to expect from Toronto in the coming season.


In tomorrow's game against GU, Notwane can count on history. Football commentators would agree that even the worst Toronto side has always had the better of GU. But some pundits have warned that should Toronto count on history, they will regret. Though they have been anonymous in the transfer market, GU is said to have bolstered their team with three quality players in Booster Magola, Branco Molokwane and Kebatlogetswe Batsweletse. The trio will definitely make their debut tomorrow morning hence Notwane must take the game seriously.
