Game on!

Township Rollers were cantering to their fourth successive title, and appeared lonely at the top since the fall from grace of Mochudi Centre Chiefs, who had emerged as their perennial bête noire over the seasons.  No other side, other than Chiefs and Rollers, has won the league since 2009.

Financially healthy mining town sides, Orapa United and Jwaneng Galaxy, were viewed as the emerging leaders of the young Lions to break the Chiefs, Rollers dominance. But despite early promises, both have no league title to show for their efforts, despite success in the Mascom Top 8. At some point of the season, Orapa were in a strong position to seize the opportunity, but have slid further back in the title race. The Ostriches are ten points adrift, with four matches remaining, which all but rule them out of the title race.
