The MP emphasised the importance of discipline among players if the club is to continue achieving great things. He said that the team should be good ambassadors for BMC. He reminded both club management and players to be patient when the team is not doing well. “This cup should remain in Lobatse and I believed it should be exchanged between Lobtrans Gunners and BMC,” he said. Goalkeeper Cosmos Lombala's heroics in the Coca-Cola Cup has not gone unnoticed. The Mogobane-born custodian walked away with the best goalkeeper award. Lombala proved his mettle when he saved a penalty against ECCO City Greens in the Coke final just a week after he did the same against Notwane… ..The commission owns national champions ECCO City Greens and Coca-Cup winners BMC FC.

allAfrica.com: Botswana: Rollers, BMC Share the Spoils
After the break, the tempo of the game slowed as tackles started flying around and Leso never hesitated to flash yellow cards. Ditsile, Ramohibidu, Mosekgwa, Mothibi, Bobo Motlhalane and Thapelo Balepi found themselves in the referee's book. Rollers introduced exciting player Edwin Moalosi for Balepi who was tightly marked by Sekanonyane and he quickly became the favourite among spectators with his skill and pace, which brought more life for Mapalastina. Rollers looked more dangerous when in attack though top marksman Semakwezi was often forced to drop back with Mothibi closely guarding him… ..The game started at a fast pace though both teams failed to produce clear-cut chances until the 33rd minute. BMC striker Phemelo Ditsile wasted a glorious opportunity with only goalkeeper Goitseone Morake to beat the shot wide. Three minutes before half time, Morake made a brilliant save when he parried away Mosimanegape Ramohibidu's rasping shot for a corner. Referee Kutlwano Leso denied

The Dugout Messageboard : Botswana? Where?
It was one against two, and he was some way smaller than both of the two. He then proceeded to absolutely skin Toko, and Shengeta wisely retreated as Maimela got to the edge of the box. Nobody was with him for support, so all he could do was have a crack at goal….and Getachew, taken by surprise, somewhat unconvincingly tipped it away for a corner. This was it. As the fourth official from Ghana signalled just two minutes of stoppage time, I knew this would be our last chance. Lovemore Mokgweetsi stepped up to take the corner. It drifted away from the crowd…..McManus headed it powerfully at goal….and OH!!!! Off the bar!!!! But as I took my head out of my hands, I heard the crowd fall silent and there was Vincent Kgaswane, wheeling away in celebration. Surely not…they couldn’t have….but they clearly had, as most of the coaching staff were running headlong for the corner flag. I glanced over to the linesman, waiting for the inevitable flag….but it never came. I tried to control

The inflation rate declined from an average of 8.5 per cent in 2000 to 6.6 per cent in 2001 because of a downward trend in all categories of inflation: non-tradable, domestic tradable and imported tradable commodities. He said this was partly a result of lower oil prices on the international markets towards the end of last year, and an easing of domestic demand pressures resulting from slower rates of domestic credit and government spending. .. ..

He said the government has a duty to promote the welfare of the nation in addition to its employee. “It would not be correct for the welfare of public servants to pre-empt resources to the detriment of the welfare of the nation as a whole.” Regarding cost sharing and savings, Mogae said the government was forced by circumstances to increase fees and introduce new ones for certain services. .. .. He said the kind of reporting on the region is focussed on political instability, “where democracy doesn't thrive, dictatorship and corruption being the order of the day.” “We decided therefore to produce something that would portray what Botswana is about, hard factual information about the country's policies, economic realities, with pictorial content,” he said. .. .. “This implies that hard choices and trade offs will have to be made in order to meet the resultant expenditure.” Mogae said since the implementation of the new pay structure would come at a cost some development projects

However, he expressed worry that he was failing to motivate the players to deal with the recent defeat and injuries inflicted by Santos. He said it was a lesson to them because they have got to adjust with every game as different teams have different approaches. “Players have to learn that if their opponents are making crunching tackles, they should have a reply,” Nare said. Chiefs welcome back defender Fred Pheko and Innocent Ranku who missed the Santos’ match. Players like Steven Maposa, Stanley Tsolope and Zacharia Muzadzi will also add some depth to the Magosi line-up. .. ..Former BDF XI and Orapa Wanderers all rounder, Shepard Mosekgwa, goal poacher Nicholas Gora and Mohammed Chawila are expected to continue their good form for Matjimenyenga up front.

The dread-locked Mokgweetsi has been outstanding since the league started, but he must watch his tackles. The financially

Chiefs’ coach Mike Sithole said that they would play their normal game against BMC. “BMC have brought in some new players but I haven’t seen them; so we will have to be cautious,” he said. The Zambian tactician further told Mmegi Sport that their aim is to reach the semi-finals of the competition. “We need our supporters to come (and) rally behind us,” said Sithole. Despite Under-23 players only joining the team this week from China, Sithole has enough firepower to kill off the BMC challenge. .. ..In defence, BMC will be relying on skipper Mosimanegape Ramohibidu, Shepherd Mosekgwa and Boiki Kgalagadi. By yesterday, it was not yet clear whether Under-23 international defender Tumisang Sekanonyana will play as he has just recovered from an injury. But BMC supporters will be hoping that their defender will be fit enough in order to tame marauding Chiefs’ forwards. In preparations for their date against Chiefs, BMC shot down Jwaneng Comets 2-0 in a friendly game last weekend. .. ..Upfront,
