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.
