JWANENG: Defending national champions, Gaborone United (GU), sent an early and chilling warning to their Botswana National Women’s League rivals after dismantling Jwaneng Galaxy 4–0 on Saturday. This is despite head coach, William ‘Raizor’ Monene, insisting his side barely scratched the surface of their true potential.

The opening exchanges reflected a league still shaking off pre-season rust, with most teams having had limited preparation time. The first half was cagey, short on tempo and clear chances, and ended goalless.
