November will be the busiest month in the Debswana First Division South League schedule with mouth-watering encounters lined up. According to the draft fixtures, the league is set to start on September 23.

Last season’s Premier League sides, Extension Gunners and Prisons XI, will start their campaign in the lower division, on the road. Gunners open their season with a tricky encounter against URI Black Forest in Mmankgodi while Prisons XI travel to Gabane for a date with Uniao Flamengo Santos. Mogoditshane Fighters, on the other hand, will start their campaign at home against giant killers, Tlokweng United.

However, the most interesting encounters have been reserved for November and a series of titanic clashes will start with the Gunners versus Notwane fixture on November 4. The match is scheduled to take place at the Lobatse Council Stadium. Gunners are currently facing a difficult pre-season period with a thin squad. They have been banned from signing new players while also finding it difficult to retain some because of their poor financial status. Whether they would be able to fix their problems before the start of the season remains to be seen.
