Leaders, Gaborone United (GU) dropped points for the first time in seven games as they were held a 2-2 draw by Morupule Wanderers on Tuesday.

In a game played under floodlights at the National Stadium, the Reds led 2-0 until the 68th minute. Thero Setsile scored his second GU goal in as many starts before Karabo Phiri doubled the advantage in the 18th minute. In the second, Wanderers staged a brave comeback away from home as lanky midfielder, Comfort Dikupa reduced the deficit in the 68th minute and five minutes later, Agripa Murimba leveled matters from a corner.

Despite playing to their first stalemate of the league campaign, Moyagoleele’s place at the top of the log remains intact. Prior, to yesterday’s game, GU were on six game winning streak, scoring 17 goals whilst conceding just twice. Breathing on GU’s neck, is their cross-town rivals, Township Rollers. Popa, in an earlier kick off yesterday against Prisons XI, emerged 2-0 victors, to reduce the lead to just four points. However, GU has played a game less than their rivals. The Blues are enjoying a purple patch under French tactician, Romain Folz. The team is on a three game winning run, whilst they are unbeaten in the four matches played this year.

Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
