Mochudi Centre Chiefs, ECCO City Greens, Township Rollers and Gaborone United (GU) find themselves one foot in the semi finals after registering home victories in the first leg three weekends ago.

ECCO, despite having a lukewarm season will surely provide a stern test for Nare's charges. While BMC have not been finding the back of the net regularly recently, ECCO have been scoring with ease. They netted four against GU and BMC last month. Both sides' defences are not tight, a thing that may lead to another high scoring encounter.

We are still broke from that experience. Yet now, with FMD...
