Tigers beat Ramblers 1-0 in a Round 15 Premiership match to move four places up to fourth position on the log.

Letu Shatimuene scored the winning goal, 7m into the second half, when Ramblers’ defence failed to clear a freekick into the box by Mekondjo Tobias and Shatimuene popped up unmarked at the far post to volley the ball into the net.

In a match of few chances, Ramblers held the territorial advantage in the first half, but could not create many opportunities.
