Township Rollers returned to winning ways on Saturday, beating BDF XI 2-1 in a highly competitive Mascom Top 8 semi final clash at SSKB Stadium.

It was Rollers’ second victory in seven games played this year. They lost five of those matches, four consecutively.

Both teams went into the game under immense pressure after losing their midweek games. BDF XI being the defending champions and having already beaten Rollers recently, went to the game as the favourites. And they were the better team early on the game, creating several chances. As early as the second minute, Vincent Nzombe was given space on the edge of the box and took a shot. Rollers were saved by the upright.
