Rollers suffer double whammy with derby loss

Rollers were beaten 2-0 by GU in a Botswana Premier League tie played at the National Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Blues needed maximum points to keep in touch with leaders, Galaxy, but they suffered a loss to GU. Galaxy on the other hand beat Morupule Wanderers 3-0 on the same day.

Rollers head coach, Innocent Morapedi, said the weekend defeat is a direct set back to the team’s title charge but remained optimistic with 24 points left to play for. “We tried our best which was not good enough and this is a direct set back to our intentions. We thought we could do better and a draw would have been better but a direct loss of three points is not good.
