Orapa United continue to send early warning signs to their rivals for the Botswana Premier League (BPL) title with another emphatic victory on Saturday.

The Ostriches registered a 2-0 win over Extension Gunners to secure their top spot in the BPL log standings. They kicked off their campaign with a resounding 4-1 victory against Notwane a fortnight ago and proved yet again against Gunners that they will be a force to reckon with. The victory against Gunners was their second successive away victory since the season started.

Attacking midfielder, Thero Setsile once again registered his name amongst the goalscorers on Saturday with the other goal coming from Thabiso Boti. It was Gunners' second successive loss after conceding two goals against Rollers in their first match. The league title has become the only domestic competition that has eluded the Ostriches since they arrived on the Premier League scene years ago. They have already won the Mascom Top 8 twice and are currently the defending Orange FA Cup champions. Head coach, Mogomotsi ‘Teenage’ Mpote has already won several league titles as an assistant coach at Township Rollers.
