Matebele FC maintained their unbeaten run in the Debswana First Division South League defeating Tlokweng United 1-0 on Saturday. Before the match, United were perched at the summit of the log standings despite their loss to Black Forest a fortnight ago.

The defeat for Tlokweng United was their second in a row and have lost their position at the top of the table. Bonno Mosea’s solitary strike in the second half separated the two sides at the Lekidi football ground. Matebele have now moved to position two on the log with the same number of points (11) with log leaders, Black Forest. Tlokweng United on the other hand have dropped to position six. Black Forest, who seem to have picked up form, were in a mean mood on Saturday afternoon, thrashing Broadhurst United 3-0.

The former Premier League side started their campaign with a lower pace, playing to a draw in their first two matches. The Saturday victory has pushed them to the top of the table with a superior goal difference of seven. Holy Ghost have moved to position three on the log following their 3-0 win over Motaung Young Fighters. They have now collected 10 points from five matches.
