Kgetholetsile leads Ezinkomo’s revival

After a miserable start to the 2012/13 be MOBILE Premier League season, BMC are slowly finding the kind of rhythm that saw them finishing second in the past season. BMC have managed to collect nine points out of a possible 21 points in their seven games.

By any standard, this is a poor record from a side which shocked many football pundits last campaign. But their recent wins against TAFIC (4-0) and BR Highlanders (5-0) suggest that the good times might be back at Ezinkomo.

On Wednesday night, it was a brace from Kenanao Kgetholetsile and a goal apiece from Shoes Godirwang, Motsholetsi Sikele and Leutwetse Tshireletso, which ensured that Ezinkomo secure maximum points. It was an improved performance from BMC though one would argue that the opposition was weak.

BMC’s small band of supporters can now afford a smile and not being mocked by their rivals from Extension Gunners who are in a rich vein of form under coach Odirile Matlhaku.

Despite two convincing wins, Ezinkomo coach Daniel ‘Chicco’ Nare believes that they still have a long way to go before reaching their Promised Land. At the start of the campaign when launching their new players at BMC headquarters in Lobatse, Nare made it clear that it is going to take time for his side to get into shape.

“We’re going to try different combinations and it might take time before we get results,” said Nare at the time.

Fortunately, BMC management has been very supportive of the technical staff despite their rough start to the season.

“We’re not there yet. We’ve been trying to introduce a new system which means players are going to take time to adjust. In our games against TAFIC and Highlanders, we used same line-up. This has given us an idea on what needs to be done going forward,” he said.

After finishing second last season expectations were high from the management that their side can now compete for the honours. But having dropped 12 points and with their title rivals Gaborone United and Mochudi Centre Chiefs enjoying a good run, it is going to take a miracle for BMC to win the title. Even Nare shares the same sentiments. “We’ve not done ourselves any justice by starting badly. We expected a better performance from last season but as things stand, we can dream of finishing in top four bracket (again).”

This time around, Nare is taking solace from the fact that his top marksman Kgetholetsile has finally found his scoring boots. Kgetholetsile, who is regarded by many as one of the best local strikers, experienced a poor form in the past two seasons. He was a shadow of a striker, which many people talked about during his time at Gunners almost five seasons ago. Kgetholetsile scored four goals in the past two games.

“It is a good thing that he is scoring again after going almost two years without providing goals for the team. This brings hope since our other striker (Mkhululi Dube) is out injured till January. By the time he (Dube) comes, Flo would have taken care of the scoring burden,” added Nare.
 
Hi, I'm new here.

I am a football shirt collector and have had dealings with All Kasi, the firm who make the BMC FC shirts. They used to produce the Botswana shirts which you can see here in my collection:

I did sell them through my online shop originally: http://www.footballshirtworld.co.uk/shop/

If people are interested I'm pretty sure that I would be able to get some BMC shirts in. I'm still in regular contact with the lady at All Kasi.
