Piro targets league, cup double :: Mmegi Online

Gaborone United (GU) coach, Pontsho 'Piro' Moloi, says his team is still in with a chance to win a double this season despite their recent slump in form in the league. GU started their Orange FA cup defence with a convincing 5-1 win over First Division side, Prisons XI, on Saturday afternoon at the National Stadium.

The gaffer said in the post match interview that they have not lost belief that they will win the league and defend the FA Cup. "It is still too early to judge. Realistically there are still two cups to play for. Look, we are chasers, we are fighters and we will fight until the end.
