The Botswana Premier League (BPL) log leaders, Jwaneng Galaxy now only need three points in the remaining two rounds of matches to be crowned league champions following their 5-0 demolition of Orapa United on Saturday.

The Jwaneng-based side retained the five-point lead at the top of the league table following the win. With their closest rivals, Gaborone United (GU) not giving up yet on their title defence, Galaxy went to Itekeng stadium in mean mood and scored five against hapless Orapa United and put one hand on the league trophy.

GU on the same day also registered an important victory against city rivals, Township Rollers in Lobatse to keep in the race. A loss for GU on Saturday would have effectively confirmed Galaxy as the league champions with two round of matches left. Now Galaxy will have to win at least one out two games left to win their second league title in three seasons.
