The title is ours-ECCO :: Mmegi Online

FRANCISTOWN: Mascom Premier League log leaders ECCO City Greens remain confident that they will win the title despite the shocking 2-0 loss to bitter town rivals TAFIC at the Francistown Stadium on Saturday. ECCO spokesman Nelson Legwatagwata told Mmegi Sport he is optimistic that they would realise their dream of becoming the first club from the north to win the national soccer title. Mamoja-diskie are leading the pack with 60 points from 27 games. They need seven more from three games to clinch the title.

This would mean that their nearest challengers BDF XI with 51 points from 25 games would finish second even if they win all their remaining five games. ECCO can get a maximum of 69 points while BDF XI can only reach 66. Legwatagwata said they will not be bothered by what happens to BDF XI in the two-horse race because their focus is to prepare for the remaining fixtures.

The two sides still have to meet on a date to be decided. "Our closest rivals might be BDF XI but our aim is to win games," Legwatagwata said. He added that his team stands a better chance of winning the league but he was quick to mention that anything can happen in football.
