PLMC ORDERS LDF, LIOLI TO SUBMIT MATCH REPORTS
 

Maseru, June 08 - Premier League Management Committee (PLMC) has ordered Lesotho Defence Force (LDF) and Lioli football clubs to submit their reports on the violence that broke out during the match at Setsoto stadium last Sunday during the Buddie Top 4 finals.

At least 11 people were reported to have sustained multiple injuries resulting from missiles that were thrown at both teams' supporters, with one woman admitted in Hospital reportedly with a fractured leg.

In an interview, PLMC Chairman Mr. Tlholo Letete told LENA that both teams have been ordered to submit their reports by Tuesday next week so that the committee could assess them before taking any measures against the guilty party.

Mr. Letete said the work will be made easier by the fact that committee members were present at the stadium when the incident occurred, adding that both reports and that of the referee will assist them to find the perpetrators.

On the other hand, Mr. Letete said the guilty team faces a M1 000.00 fine or more if it is found to have committed a similar offence before.

The PLMC head noted that they are still inquiring about the woman whose leg was fractured to assess her latest condition and how much she spent for treatment so as to find ways of reimbursing her medication costs.

Spectators witnessed ugly acts when LDF scored their first goal of the match through Lekoekoe Molefe in the 23 minutes of first half when bottles, beer cans and assortments of missiles were thrown into the pitch and eventually 11 supporters from both sides got injured during the process and the game was suspended for 20 minutes.

LDF eventually won the match 2-1 and were crowned this year's Buddie Top 4 champions.

Lioli has earlier been charged with violence and malicious damage to property at the stadium at one of their cup games against Matlama.
