Lack of home ground robs BR Highlanders

BR Highlanders coach, Kabo Dintwa lamented the situation soon after his side beat Great North Tigers on Saturday to secure promotion back to the Premier League.

“Because we do not have a suitable ground (in Mahalapye) all our home matches are played outside Mahalapye,” he said, adding that, “Playing outside Mahalapye means that our players are constantly on the road. This is very tiring for the team. The constant travels also dent our budget. Furthermore, we do not get an opportunity to play in front of our supporters, which is a very big disadvantage in any sport”.
