DC to hearSatmos-Hotspurs' feud

FRANCISTOWN: The First Division North Disciplinary Committee (DC) will hear a case in which Mahalapye Hotspurs accuse fierce rivals, FC Satmos, of fielding a defaulter in their top of the table clash a fortnight ago.

Hotspurs lodged a complaint with the DC, arguing Satmos' defender, Tafadza Zombe, was ineligible to play as he was still serving a two-match suspension following his red card against Mahalapye Highlanders. Satmos deny any wrongdoing.

First Division North Secretary Moraole Sikwane told Mmegi Sport that the case will be heard tomorrow. Sikwane said Hotspurs complained that Satmos used their Zimbabwean-born defender when he was allegedly serving suspension. Hotspurs argue that Zombe was supposed to sit out of the Hotspurs' game, which the Mahalapye side lost 2-1 to surrender top spot to Satmos. Sikwane said the committee would make judgement based on submissions from both camps. If Satmos are found guilty, they face the possibility of losing three points and concede goals. "It will depend on the evidence presented on the table tomorrow," he said.
