The rise and fall of Nico

However, this season, Nico is in big trouble and might need outside intervention to avoid the relegation dog-fight or worse. The rot at Nico was exposed on Saturday in the 6-1 hiding by the visiting Gaborone United (GU) in an arena that Majombolo made into a slaughter-house last season. A few months ago, many teams dreaded a visit to the Selebi-Phikwe Stadium as Nico's dazzling displays captured the imagination of football fans. Rewind to the season ender between Nico United and Extension Gunners.

Majombolo thoroughly outsmarted a Gunners' side that had gone into the game in imperious form, but left dry following a 2-0 thumping.
