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.
