BR Highlanders Secure Promotion

Veteran marksman, Emmanuel Thakadu scored the match-deciding goal two minutes from time. Going into the match, Highlanders needed a victory to ensure that they reach an unassailable lead in the league and in the process secure a return to the prestigious BTC Premiership.Highlanders have now accumulated 45 points with one remaining league match. They had more of a positive match than their weekend opponents who employed a relatively defensive approach for the entire 90 minutes.

The experienced Thakadu had a chance to put the visitors ahead in the 10th minute but he sent his shot wide with GNT goalkeeper, Thatayaone Thandazela the only man to beat. Seven minutes later, Thakadu once again found himself with the goalkeeper to beat after he had navigated his way past the host defenders.
