Tuesday, August 11, 2009

In an unprecedented move in local football, Mogoditshane Fighters have been found guilty of match-fixing after they lost their promotional play-off match 12-2 to Jwaneng Comets on Saturday.

The Premier League promotional play-offs organising committee found Fighters guilty of deliberately giving away the game to Comets. Fighters were slapped with a six-month suspension and a P6000 fine.
