Sleeping Premier League giants, Notwane now face an uphill task of surviving the dreaded axe in the elite league following their 2-1 loss to fellow relegation candidates, Gilport on Wednesday afternoon.

Toronto blew a huge chance with the defeat to Lions who had previously only registered two victories the entire season. Toronto are left with three tricky encounters, which would determine their destiny in the coming season. They are currently sitting at position 14 with 19 points, four behind Mogoditshane Fighters who are at position 13.

The club recently roped in Thaloba Nthaga to help survive the dreaded axe. This gave the team hope after they defeated BDF XI. In their remaining games, Notwane will take on log leaders and title favourites, Gaborone United (GU) and also face Orapa United and Police XI, who are also looking to solidify their top-eight finish. The victory against Notwane kept Gilport in the race to survive the axe but their destiny now depends on how Fighters play in their last four games. Gilport are languishing at the bottom of the log with 16 points.
