BACKED INTO A CORNER
Axed five seek shot at salvation
THE Botswana Football Association (BFA) have begged the Club Licensing Committee’s Appeals Body to give the five teams booted out of the Premier League over licensing issues a second chance. As it stands: Extension Gunners, Eleven Angels, Mogoditshane Fighters, Masitaoka and Morupule Wanderers have all been demoted to the lowest BFA structure in the land - the dusty obscurity of Division Two.
Briefing the media in Gaborone on Wednesday afternoon, BFA CEO, Mfolo Mfolo, revealed the association has asked for a five-day stay of execution to allow the condemned clubs a chance to get their affairs in order.
By the end of business on Wednesday, the Committee, a body made up of independent lawyers, were yet to respond to the BFA’S desperate plea.
