FRANCISTOWN: Nico United United coach, Pelokgosi Botshelo has admitted that his side is on the verge of winning promotion to the Premier League after a 2-1 win over Calendar Stars at the Caledron Ground on Saturday.

The team now accumulated 31 points from 14 games and are yet to lose a match in the Debswana First Division North league this season. They are 13 points ahead of second placed Eleven Angels who were due to play their 14th match yesterday. “This was the most important game in the second round.

Having won it, I do not think that some of the teams will easily stop us. We expected a high intensity game, but my players showed that they are strong characters and have a winning mentality. We are almost guaranteed automatic promotion, but we will not be complacent. It is important for us to remain humble and focused,” Botshelo said. Powered by their talisman forward, Morgan Gaseitsiwe, Nico came from behind to defeat Calendar. Calendar started the match on a very high note and forward Upoga Dekesha could have given them the lead in the 17th minute after connecting with an excellent cross from the left. But his effort was cleared off the goal line.

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