Fighting for survival: Gunners play Fighters in a six-pointer PIC: PHATSIMO KAPENG

It is going to be a very anxious weekend for Extension Gunners as the Lobatse side stare relegation right in the eye. Gunners might drop to the second tier if the weekend's results do not go their way.

On Saturday, the Peleng Boys take on fellow strugglers, Mogoditshane Fighters at the Molepolole Sports Complex in a Botswana Premier League tie. It is going to be an interesting battle involving the 16th and 15th-placed sides and neither would want to drop points on Saturday.
