Morapedi demands character as Rollers move atop

This is all thanks to the 1-1 draw results between TAFIC and champions, Jwaneng Galaxy. Rollers have for the first time this campaign, moved to the top of the standings with 13 rounds of the league games to be played. The team that is looking to end their five-year winless streak is hoping to make the position their own until the end of the campaign, says assistant coach, Innocent Morapedi.

He said he is aware of the burden of being chased as well as the expectations from the fan base of the most successful club in the country. “We wish we would stay but up there alone is cold, you are a target for everybody and everybody plans to beat you. But we will see what character we have,” said Morapedi after the weekend’s win. He is also of the view that his side should take more of their chances to enhance their championship hopes. Morapedi said the team was lucky to walk away with maximum points on Saturday after wasting a number of chances and allowed VTM back into the game. It was a blistering start for the home team as Thatayaone Ramatlapeng played a pass to Segolame Boy on the wing. The attacker cut in and made space to put a curler to the top corner as Rollers took the lead on the 14th minute.
