Football is dying in Jwaneng

Cosmos Blizzards are struggling in the Second Division and might soon be joined by Blue Diamonds, which look set to drop from the First Division. Mascom Premier League side Jwaneng Comets are bracing themselves for another trip to the First Division. Comets have been propping the Premier League standings since the start of the season and only a miracle will save them from relegation.

Their 5-3 loss over the weekend to Gaborone United confirmed how deep the Jwaneng side has sunk. The defeat followed a 5-1 drubbing by leaders Mochudi Centre Chiefs four days earlier. Comets have failed to click despite the fact that it enjoys good facilities at the diamond-mining town like the Galaxy Stadium.
