1st Year - 4th Position
North West United, “The Elephants”, fell victim to Delta Winds (aka Abafana Ba Style) when they were beaten 2-0 in an Nhabe football league match at Maun Sports Complex on Saturday night.
A goal in each half ensured Delta Winds of a sweet victory in a game which was full of tension.
Delta Winds missed most of their regular players but that did not seem to matter as they went on to produce an outstanding performance to beat the Elephants who brought their full strength squad that included Shakes Boikhutso, Lebogang Likha and goalkeeper Divas Mokela.
The Elephants started the game with intentions of getting an early goal, but they could not break Delta Winds. Delta Winds took the lead, through a goalmouth scramble goal by midfielder Seloka “Velem” Nchinano who shot past the Elephants goalkeeper after a well taken corner. A defender failed to clear the ball and Nchinano was unattended as he put his side ahead. The goal separated the two sides until the half time whistle.
After the break, both sides created numerous chances but neither of them found the back of the net. North West United tried all their tricks upfront but they could not get a scoring opportunity. Delta Winds sealed their victory towards the end of the game. Nchinano was back again as he scored a second time from a move initiated from the midfield by Tendai Katiyo and Tshex Lekgowa.
The results left Delta Winds comfortably on 4th position on the league table with 48 points,

Stylish Victory - From The Ngami Times
Nhabe league debutants Delta Winds aka Abafana Ba Style beat CTO 3-2 in a Nhabe regional league game played at the Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Their win moved them two places up the ladder to sixth place on the league.
It was an interesting match full of drama as CTO coach Mudongo was sent to the stands for indecency shown towards the match officials. The game started at a very fast pace, but Delta Winds proved to be too good for their opponents as they made early attempts that unsettled CTO. Delta Winds went ahead, through a ball by Sixteen Haeera who broke loose from the left flank and beat the CTO goalkeeper with a hard and low shot. CTO fought hard looking for an equaliser but Abafana Ba Style was in full control. Delta Winds scored the second goal through Terrence from a free kick just outside the centre circle to make it 2-0 before the break. CTO pulled one back through a powerful header by Moses Kobamelo after a free kick from the right flank.
After the break, both sides created numerous chances but they failed to utilise them. However, it was not long before Delta made it 3-1, this time from a goal by Ndililo “ Masitara” Buzwani who outpaced his marker and beat the advancing goalkeeper with a shot from just inside the box. CTO reduced the scoreline to 3-2 towards the end of the 2nd half with a beautiful ball by Moses.

Delta Winds Start New Year Strong
Delta Winds, better known as “Abafana ba Style” by their fans, produced a robust display to humiliate Boseja Chiefs 6-0 in an Nhabe regional football league match last Saturday night. Credit goes to four newly-acquired players - former Maun United goalkeeper Onnah, Zimbabwean international midfielder Tendai ‘Nyandoro' Katiyo, winger Tshebetso “Tshex” Lekgoa (formerly with Maun Terrors) and former BMC striker Menson Mompati.
The players had a brilliant start to the campaign of the new season as they all scored on their debut match. The team, which is currently on a build up, had fielded a completely different squad from last season and the new players combined well to beat Boseja Chiefs. The game started on a high note as Delta Winds tried to click together. Boseja (“Magosi') took advantage but failed to use their chances.
It took no time for Delta Winds to settle as they scored the first goal through Tshex Lekgoa, and it was not long before substitute Ndililo “Masitara” Buzwani registered his name on the referee's score sheet with a clinical finish.
Chiefs tried hard to get a goal, but Delta Winds' defence, led by Terrence, was watertight at the back and the goalkeeper was under no pressure as Chiefs rarely attacked their goal area.
After the break, Delta Winds continued where they had left off as they scored 4 more goals to bury Boseja Chiefs.
The goals came from Tendai Katiyo from an indirect free kick, Menson Mompati, while Ndililo Buzah completed his brace. The 4th and the final 6th goal came from substitute Ledombi who had came on in the second half to fill the vacuum left by Mompati.
