Lobatse derby is here

After starting the current league campaign on fire, Gunners are clear favourites to send their blood rivals to the cleaners. Mapantsula have shocked many people in the football fraternity with their early season form, which have seen them going into Christmas break sitting on an unfamiliar second position. Gunners have 27 points from 13 games, seven points adrift of log leaders Township Rollers. BMC have only managed to collect six points from 13 games and this has put pressure on new coach Mike 'Dubula' Sithole.

In a long time, Gunners are counted as early league contenders and they cannot be blamed for thinking that the league is there for the taking. It will be interesting to see if the festive break has not affected them and Ezinkomo will provide the perfect test.
