Police IX, Gata crowned inaugural NEST Champions

Police staged a dramatic comeback to edge Titans 3-2 in a gripping women’s final, while Gatalamotho delivered a commanding performance in the men’s decider, overpowering Wells 15-6 in an electrifying Jwaneng derby.

Affectionately known as “Gata” by their passionate supporters, Gatalamotho booked their place in the final after a hard-fought 5-4 victory over Police IX in the semi-finals. On the women’s side, Police IX cruised into the final in emphatic fashion, dismantling BDF IX 8-0. Police coach Phibion Tawina said the team had one clear objective which is winning the inaugural title by executing their plan to perfection. “We had lost to Titans in a league game, and we did not want to exhaust ourselves during that match. Today, my players came to the party and delivered. We won this tournament without losing a single game,” he said.
