Traditional rivals, Township Rollers and Gaborone United (GU) have been drawn against each for the semi-finals of the Mascom Top Eight tournament. The draw held yesterday in Gaborone pits BDF XI against Nico United in the other semi-final. GU and BDF XI will play at home first.

Rollers and GU now meet for the third successive time in the semi-finals of the competition. The first time, Rollers knocked GU out and went on to win the tournament. Last year GU had sweet revenge against their rivals on the way to winning the prestigious title. Both sides are on a recovery path after going through some rough patches this season, hence the clash between them promises to be very interesting.

In the other duel, BDF XI who lost to GU in the final last year have a slight advantage over Nico. Both sides are desperate to win something after doing relatively well last season in the league.  Meanwhile the be MOBILE Premier League continues this weekend with Lobatse giants, Extension Gunners hosting Nico tomorrow at the New Lobatse Stadium.
