Blood rivals Gunners, Rollers clash

Despite the two not being direct rivals, the fixture has on occasion evoked emotions amongst the fans and intensity has at times turned into violence. The two teams command a huge following and this Saturday afternoon, the Lobatse Sports Complex is expecting a large audience. The stakes are high ahead of the clash with Rollers looking to put their title chase back on track. Gunners on the other hand are finding some form and look to move further away from the relegation positions. A stampede in 2011 at the Molepolole Sports Complex spoilt the clash as a big crowd was stuck outside the stadium before the set kick-off time. Despite a 45-minute delay, the fans from the two teams clashed resulting in bloody scenes. Five years after the 2011 incident, fans of the two teams clashed again at the Lobatse Sports Complex in March 2016 in a league tie. The two incidents evoke memories of 2007 as Gunners' home base decried a late penalty call in Rollers' 2-1 win.
