In honour of 'Boboza'

BDF XI have announced that they will play their be MOBILE Premier League game against Naughty Boys in honour of their departed captain Donald 'Boboza' Thobega who will be buried in Ramotswa tomorrow.


The army side host lowly-placed Dinoko at 3.30pm on Sunday. BDF XI coach, Stanley Mwaanga said yesterday that they have to win the game for Thobega. "It will be a good farewell for him. It has been difficult to prepare for this game but we have to go out there and perform," he said. He explained that BDF XI struggled against Nico United last weekend because they had just heard of Thobega's death. Mwaanga said he has tried this week to prepare his charges for the Naughty Boys' game. Third-placed BDF XI should not have problems in white-washing their opponents who are struggling at the bottom of the log. Winning the game will keep BDF XI in the title race with log leaders Gaborone United (GU) and Mochudi Centre Chiefs.

Mwaanga is wary of Naughty Boys despite their lowly position on the log. "It is always difficult to prepare for a lowly placed team. We will be cautious and give them the necessary respect," he said.
