The police side has shot to the top of the log standings with 38 points from 19 games while last year’s champions Plumtree Chiefs are five points down on position five from 18 games with under eight matches remaining before the end of the season.

Also in the race, Tsholotsho FC take on Quelaton away from home at the National University of Science and Technology tomorrow. Tsholotsho FC, coached by Lizwe Sweswe are on 35 points from 18 games.
