LCS crowned champions of Lesotho, Majantja relegated


Lesotho Correctional Services (LCS) have been crowned Vodacom Premier League champions for the second consecutive year after claiming a 2-0 victory over Joy in Leribe this afternoon. The win in Hlotse means Masheshena have an unassilable seven-point lead at the top of the league, with just two games to play.

LCS's Khoto Sesinyi... last season
LCS now have 41 points while Lesotho Defence Force (LDF), their closest challengers, only have 34 points.

The win caps what has been  a perfect month for LCS. Masheshena were the only team to collect six points in the Easter weekend fixtures, beating Majantja 3-2 and Mpharane Celtics 1-0. They then followed that up by grabbing a vital point against Bantu last weekend in Mafeteng, to end A Matšo Matebele’s title challenge.

Elsehwere in the Vodacom Premier League, Majantja were yesterday relegated after just one season back in the top-flight, after they were held to a goalles draw at home by Mpharane Celtics.

There are two more rounds to go in the season with places still very much up for grabs in the top four race, while the relegation dogfight is set to go down to the last day.
