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 Reds are now onto the last 16, and will be looking to defend the cup they have won three times in the past three seasons. Coach 'Piro' believes his charges can do a league and cup double this season. GU have lost ground in the title race after losing two games in a row.

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.
