Jwaneng Galaxy’s head coach, Morena Ramoreboli, finds himself in a difficult spot in an attempt to catch up the leading pack in the Botswana Premier League (BPL) standings.

Galaxy moved to second place on Sunday afternoon with a 1-0 win over VTM FC in a league game played at the VTM Arena. The defending champions are now four points behind leaders, Township Rollers and a point ahead of Gaborone United who sit on the third position.

Galaxy, however, have played three games less than Rollers and could sit comfortably at the top in the event they win all their ‘games in hand’. Ramoreboli has since said it is more difficult to chase than to lead as he seeks consistency from his side. “This is just like a race; those who started the race early had and have their comfort of leading the race. It is very difficult for you when you are chasing because you need to catch up. When you are trying to catch up, it demands a lot. To be honest, it is good for Township Rollers and Gaborone United.
