Vodacom Premier League is heating up |
For the previous two seasons the title has
been a straight battle between Lioli and Bantu. In 2012/13 Lioli pipped Bantu
to the title while last season Bantu finally broke through to win their first
championship in club history.
It might be the same story again this
term after Lioli’s comprehensive win over a previously undefeated LDF. Tse Nala were dominant from start to finish
at Setsoto and the win over LDF is their second win succession after losing to
Matlama three weekends ago. Lioli are now third, three points behind LDF, who still
lead the standings. Crucially, however, Tse
Nala have a game in hand.
Lioli’s win was also good news for reigning
champions Bantu who thrashed Qoaling Highlanders 6-1 in Mafeteng on Saturday. It
means second-placed A Matšo Matebele
are now only two points drift of LDF. Once again Lioli and Bantu look poised to battle it out for Lesotho football ’s most coveted prize.
In other weekend action, new-boys Likila
collected another valuable point with a 0-0 draw at Nyenye Rovers yesterday.
The result leapfrogged Likila over Matlama, who weren’t in action this week,
into fifth.
Also on Sunday, Likhopo and Kick4Life
played to a two-all draw at the LCS grounds. The two sides traded penalties in
the first half and couldn’t be separated in an action-packed second half
either. Kick4Life jump to ninth while Likhopo stay in the relegation zone.
Three matches – Linare v LMPS, LCS v
Matlama and Mphatlalatsane v Sundawana – were not played because of heavy
rains.
