Recent history

Amagents had an eventful 2008/9 season moving to Lekhubu Private School after their home ground was demolished for development. Although they led the league at Christmas, the team ended up missing out on promotion after a poor second half of the season. This led to the appointment of a new coach. This led to a strong start to the 2009/10 season, but only a sixth-place finish.
The U17 team gained third place in an international 7-a-Side competition held at Maru a Pula School in September 2009. Following this success a campaign was launched to organise boots and equipment for the youth team. This campaign was featured in the Northern Echo. [2]
The club has also featured in raising HIV/AIDS awareness. [3]
2009 saw the launch of the club's website, one of the first for any club team in Botswana. [4] This in turn led to worldwide publicity following an AFP film crew visit and the setting of a YouTube channel carrying match highlights, another first in Botswana.
