OPTIMISTIC: Township Rollers head coach, Innocent Morapedi PIC: MORERI SEJAKGOMO

Township Rollers head coach, Innocent Morapedi, has expressed confidence and optimism that his side will clinch the Botswana Premier League (BPL) title this season if Botswana football history is anything to go by.

Morapedi said this in a post match interview on Friday night after his side secured an emphatic 3-1 win against Police XI. He stated that they have what it takes to win the title. Rollers occupied the summit of the league table on Friday night only before Jwaneng Galaxy dethroned them again on Saturday.

Morapedi said history favours them against the Jwaneng-based side. “You see, history tempts me to say who has the pedigree of winning the league between Rollers and Galaxy,. If we choose from the two, Rollers will surely be the right candidate to win the league,” he confidently said.
