| Will Lioli and LCS reach the final again? |
The schedule
for the 2017 LNIG Top 8 quarterfinals has been confirmed. The highly-anticipated
knockout competition featuring the top eight league finishers from last season
will kick off this weekend with the quarterfinal first legs.
On Saturday
the action will be at Setsoto Stadium.
The tournament
will open with defending champions Lioli facing Likhopo at 13:00 while the second
game of the day is set to be a humdinger with Vodacom Premier League Bantu
facing Matlama at 15:00.
The two sides
met in a league encounter last month and served up an entertaining tie which Tse Putsoa won. Likhopo and Matlama have
been drawn as the home sides in Saturday’s respective first legs.
On Sunday the
action will move to the Maputsoe DiFA Stadium with Sundawana hosting Kick4Life
at 13:00 and LDF playing LCS at 15:00.
The return
legs will be played at the end of the month. February 25 will see a double
header of quarterfinal second legs at the LCS Stadium. In the first game of the
day LCS will play host to LDF before dark-horses Kick4Life and Sundawana take
the field to finish their squabble.
The following
day’s return legs will see a break from the double header format. Bantu will
host Matlama at the Leshoboro Sports Complex in Mafeteng while Lioli will host
Likhopo at the LCS Stadium.
The semi-finals
and final will be played in April at Setsoto on a date yet to be confirmed.
The
champions will go home M100 000 richer.
