Over the weekend, the Red Roses were splendid in a Cream of Gaborone preseason tournament played at the BPSC Stadium on Saturday. GU hosted league rivals, Security Systems and Township Rollers, along side BDF XI who are competing in the Kweneng Region league. The reigning national champions were in a menace mood as they knocked out Rollers in the first semi final played in the morning.
Central defender-cum midfielder, Nancy Baeletsi, bagged a brace as Masa Keagakwa and Laone Moloi scored the other two goals when they beat Rollers 4-1. Midfielder, Oarabile Molatlhegi scored the solitary goal for Banyana Ba Popa. GU went on to win the final with another heavy score line against Systems. Baeletsi was also heavily instrumental in the final win as she scored another brace when her side won the tie 5-2. It was a heavily contested encounter but the Red Roses had more in their legs as they managed to have a better second half to clinch the Cream of Gaborone tournament. With nine goals in just two games and against league rivals, GU will be feeling a bit more confident ahead of the league opener against Rollers later this month.
