It is all systems go as Premier League gets underway

Township Rollers

Rollers are perennial favourites for the title but this time round, they face difficulties. They will have to fight hard to be focused locally in their defence of the league and the Coca-Cola Cup and to prove themselves in the CAF Champions League. They look likely to be hit hardest by the departure of Itayi Gwandu to Mochudi Centre Chiefs. Before his arrival at Rollers, the champions were struggling at the back - letting in easy goals. They have not replaced the towering defender although it was clear during the transfer window that he was on his way out. Newly appointed coach, Wesley Mondo will have a tough task trying to lift the morale of the players who are said to be unhappy with the way the issue of bonuses has been handled.
