We’re thrilled to announce that the captain of Lesotho national women’s 7 aside team, Likatola, Lesoetsa Mookho, has been selected to be part of the iconic Free State Women's Rugby 2026
Competition Squad.

She is part of the elite women chosen out of more than 80 young female rugby hopefuls across Free State.

Lesoetsa is a former Liqhomane Rugby Club player who was discovered and nurtured at Mabote Beavers Rugby Club by the Lesotho’s most successful and highly respected rugby coach and administrator, Letsielo Mabitle.

She was spotted when donning the colours of Collegians Rugby Club in Bloemfontein, South Africa where she is currently plying her trade.

POISED FOR SUCCESS: THE MAIDEN TASK OF PALESA

When the poignant tidings that the award winning rugby coach Roy Zhou would not be able to goad the national 7’s girls outfit, due to health concerns surfaced, the timid Palesa Pitso was handed the reins at the eleventh hour, armed with zero tournament preparations dispositions.

Like a true fighter, Palesa Pitso, guided by the veteran Ronald Doyle as the newly appointed technical advisor embraced the challenge, disregarding the fact that it was her maiden task - she had never coached national team before.

She majestically led the Lesotho national 7’s aside team to their fourth Khan'sicala Rugby 7's Festival win conceding only one loss against the Mpumalanga based champions Embalenhle.

Federation of Lesotho Rugby and Econet Rugby League are proud of coach Palesa Pitso, coach Morapeli Motaung, the technical advisor, Ronald Doyle, the medic team and the men and women of rugby players who selflessly dedicated themselves for the country.
