BOTSWANA’S be Mobile league champions Township Rollers dropped another set of points in a league encounter in the absence of head coach Madinda Ndlovu who has been attending a Caf A licence coaching course in Harare.
SUKOLUHLE MTHETHWA SPORTS REPORTER
The first phase of the course was held in the capital from December 9 to December 22 2014 while the second phase began on January 26 and ended yesterday.
Ndlovu missed his side’s 0-1 loss against his former team Mochudi Centre Chiefs last week before Saturday’s 0-2 defeat to BDF X1.
A first half free-kick stunner by Othusitse “Nakata” Mpharitlhe and a second-half Lerato Mosweu strike ensured maximum points for BDF X1.
The six points dropped by Township Rollers in the past two games have seen Mochudi Centre Chiefs topple the Ndlovu-coached side from top spot.
Chiefs are now on top with 41 points from 19 games following their 2-2 draw against Notwane on Saturday, leading by a point.
Township Rollers’ defeats have come at a bad time as they are set to meet South African giants Kaizer Chiefs in a Caf Champions League preliminary round tie in South Africa on Saturday.
