TLOKWENG: Township Rollers registered a resounding 4-0 victory against Gilport Lions in a rather one sided Botswana Premier League (BPL) encounter played at the Royal Aria Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The visitors only managed to get a single shot on target throughout the entire match. From the first minute, Popa looked comfortable stringing a couple of passes to try and open the opposition defence. On the sixth minute, Phenyo Serameng saw his effort go over the bar. Two minutes later, Serameng had another chance and shot straight into the goalkeeper's hands. The home side continued to enjoy a lion's share of the ball possession and on the 17th minute, Segolame Boy's half volley was blocked by the defence for a corner.

From the corner, Mosha Gaolaolwe found himself unmarked at the far post but shot over the crossbar. Popa once again got close on the 21st minute as Kago Monyake set up Gaolaolwe from a free kick but the centre back's header missed the target by a whisker. Rollers eventually broke the deadlock when Gaolaolwe headed yet another finely taken free kick by Monyake on the 33rd minute. Rollers went into half time dominating proceedings as Lions only managed a single shot at goal in the first 45 minutes.
