Black Peril in surprise lead

Black Peril were only promoted to the First Division this season but look set to sail all the way to the top flight if they maintain the tempo. Formerly known as Liverpool, the club leads the standings with 23 points one ahead of Ramotswa side, Letlapeng. Ex-national champions, Mogoditshane Fighters, who were relegated from the Premier League last season have also collected 22 points.

But the Brazilians would need more than just consistent results to be assured of automatic promotion. It has been a good run considering that Fighters were docked six points before the season started after the controversial play-off game against Jwaneng Comets. Former Premier League side, Prisons XI are also in with a promotion chance as they are placed third with 21 points.
