After a two-year absence, the rugby league returns this weekend with action lined up in Gaborone and Francistown.

The rugby league was halted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 restrictions, but players will be back to their favourite grounds starting tomorrow. BIUST and BAC North are kick-starting proceedings in Francistown, while in Gaborone, UB Rhinos are up against Gaborone Hogs.

Hogs were the last side to win the league title after finishing ahead of BDF Cheetahs and Canon Jaguars respectively. The new season sets off amid a few changes from the executive committee structure to sponsorship.
