Yes we know GU will want to be the first team to beat us, so it is not going to be an easy game,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>GU assistant coach, Orethusitse Oefoseng, said they had been preparing well for this category A game.<\/p>\n<p>He said all the players were in good health and they were looking forward to Saturday\u2019s clash, which he also said was not going to be easy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the players are available for selection, and the game on its own is a motivation for the players. Personally I don\u2019t have a problem with Double Action, I have watched play on several occasions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/botswana\">Botswana<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Botswana.
