On Saturday at Mafeteng the five clubs were Khubetsoana All Stars, Rovers, Buffalos, Lialuma and Mafokotsane. While Rangers, Rovers Development team, Naleli Vampires, Buffalos and Roma Young Stars Development team did not show up and the womens teams had no fixtures to play in Mafeteng.
All the teams which did not report at Mafeteng on Saturday will be forfeited their points, though most of them appear to be development teams which may not make a big difference on their log league standings.
All the courts are in need of a serious facelift as ruts could easily be spotted in the field of play, in the tennis courts, netball courts and Basketball courts. The basketball pools are not strong enough for basketball and the board is made of sheet boxes in the state of timber while the lines are also worn out.
