Gunners dared not to go down

On Saturday afternoon, Gunners played to a 1-1 draw against Mochudi Centre Chiefs in an FNB Premiership match played at the Lobatse Sports Complex. Mapantsula moved slightly from the relegation positions as they made it to 12 points but are only above relegation placed, Security Systems on goal difference. It was a spirited performance by the struggling giants as they formally welcomed new club investor, Ally Kgomongwe, a South African businessman. Kgomongwe watched the draw from the VIP box and at full time he embraced the fans at the ‘Panda’ stand. Monnawanoka admitted the Pretoria-based mogul’s arrival boosted the team’s morale.

He said from the weekend’s draw, they can only hope for a much improved display as the second round of the league starts. “The investor has told us to just avoid relegation. So what we doing now is to fight to avoid relegation, that is our only target. We need to reinforce our attack, as you have noticed we can play the ball in the midfield and we are solid at the back, and we do not concede that much. The problem is upfront; we are still struggling to bury those chances so we need a striker,” said Monnawanoka.
