Anti-Drugs will need to conjure their home spirit to get back on track. Awoko boys are slipping into a dangerous pattern of losing games. Last week Central Parade emphatically defeated them 3-0. If they don’t win their next two games, they could be steering at a relegation fight by the time the next round of games starts.
Anti-Drugs have lost five out of the 11 games they have played. They are now 11th with 10 points.
