The beMOBILE Premiership continued to spring surprises on Tuesday night when Orapa United (the Ostriches) ended Extension Gunners’ unbeaten start to the season.

The league action resumed on Sunday following the international break, with new comers Green Lovers continuing their free scoring mode as they beat Sankoyo Bush Bucks 4-3 in Serowe.

On Tuesday, Extension Gunners took the long trip to Orapa for a date with Orapa United looking to extend their unbeaten run. However, they came out of Itekeng Stadium battered and empty handed as Patrick Lenyeletse and Thabang Sesinyi’s brace helped Orapa United to a 3-1 win against the Peleng giants. Gunners’ goal came from defender, Mosimanegape Ntwaetsile who also scored in the last game against Gaborone United (GU).
