Botswana grab silver in Best Brew League

Botswana, comprising six players drawn from Mbeki FC based in Broadhurst, was indebted to the inclusion of Best Brew legend, Diphetogo ‘Dipsy’ Selolwane who drove the young charges to the final. All the four participating countries were allowed to include legends on the second day of competition, Sunday, and that proved to be the critical turning point for Team Botswana.

Selolwane provided the needed experience and composure, which rubbed off on the rest of the team. In the quarterfinals, Botswana dismissed Lesotho 2-1 before accounting for a much tougher Swaziland 3-1 in the semi-final. Zambia fell to South Africa, before the Zambian Invitational beat South Africa Invitational in the fourth quarter final match.
