Relegation trap tightens as Calendar, Veggies gasp for air

As the champagne is quietly being chilled in the centre of Gaborone, down at the other end of the table, it is panic, pure and unfiltered, as the fight for survival heats up. Bottom-placed Santa Green are not just flirting with relegation, they are deep in it with 18 points after 25 games and carrying a sorry defensive record that screams a warning label.

The team has conceded 49 goals, whilst sitting on a goal difference of minus 20. The side's recent form offers no comfort either. One win in five, four defeats, and the kind of fragility that spreads through a team like a bad habit as confidence looks shot.
