Flamingoes PIC: PHATSIMO KAPENG.
Galaxy, the three-time champions, have wasted no time in flexing their muscles. Sitting top of the log on goal difference, they remain one of only two teams yet to concede this season. Their campaign began with a convincing 3-0 win over Morupule Wanderers, followed by a narrow 1-0 against Black Lions, before dismantling Orapa United 3-0 in midweek. Captain Thabang Sesinyi marked the occasion with his 100th Premier League goal, sealing his place amongst centurions. Under new coach Sean Connor, the Galaxy Stars look calm, clinical, and ready for another title tilt. Hot on their heels are Township Rollers. Written off by many after finishing a disappointing sixth last season and dealing with messy boardroom drama, Popa have bounced back under the experienced Serbian, Srdan Zivojnov. Rollers have found a cutting edge again, scoring six goals in three matches whilst conceding only twice. The only worry? All six goals have come after the break, raising questions about their slow starts in their matches. Still, the Rollers faithful would not mind; victories are flowing, and belief is creeping back into the terraces. Completing the leading trio are Sua Flamingoes, who continue their steady rise since breaking into the elite in 2020. Bafana Ba Letswai dug deep in Francistown to edge TAFIC 1-0 in midweek, courtesy of a second-half strike by Bame Morwalela. Head coach Nikola Kavazovic has been blunt about his intentions that this season is about chasing the league crown, not applause for attractive football. His words are being matched by results with three wins from three, nine points on the board, and title ambitions well and truly alive.
