Rollers pass key test to spark title hopes

While critics saw it as reckless spending, Township Rollers viewed it as creating unmatched depth. Rollers coach, Mark Harrison made it clear he wanted at least two quality players for each position as he began to put together a squad capable of delivering domestic titles as well as competing effectively on the continent.

He had the unenviable task of re-arranging haphazard pieces of the jigsaw puzzle after a disappointing last season. The Rollers family had seen their team meekly surrender the title to Mochudi Centre Chiefs, before capitulating in last season’s final of the Mascom Top 8. They needed a smart response. First they agreed to ship out coach, Madinda Ndlovu. Englishman, Harrison drove through the gates of CA Sales to pen a one-year performance based contract.
