Gaborone United ladies team head coach, William Monene believes his side is well positioned to retain the DTCB Women’s Championship crown.

GU over the weekend sailed into the national finals of the championship after winning South Block playoffs. Red Roses had begun their quest with a 2-0 win over Jwaneng Galaxy in the opening day of the South Block playoffs on Friday evening.

They increased their advantage through a 3-1 win over BDF XI on the second day. GU on Sunday morning wrapped it up with a resounding 5-0 win over Royal Fighters on the final day of the playoffs. The Red Roses opened the scores on the 22nd minute after a relatively slower start from the team. Jessica Maponga found herself at the end of a through ball from Golebaone Selebatso and she poked to the far bottom corner to give GU the lead. Maponga within a minute to half time saw her long range effort spilled back in to play by the goalkeeper and Gonayamodimo Macha was quick to bury the rebound making it 2-0 for GU at the halftime break.
