Botswana Netball Team Gets Bronze

Our Netball national team represented us well at the Mission Foods 6 nations cup, where they won a bronze medal. The competitions which were held in Singapore saw our netball team bring down giants to end up in position 3. Our team won 4 of their 6 games, to get the well deserved 3rd spot.

The winners of the competition were fellow Africans, Zambia followed by Papua New Guinea, while position four went to host Singapore, followed by Ireland and Canada respectively. In the opening game our girls lost 43-46 to Zambia and were able to redeem themselves with a 42-38 victory against Singapore. Papua New Guinea spoilt the party though in the third game beating Botswana 51-40.

That did not dampened their fighting spirit as they regrouped and humbled Ireland 27-34.
Botswana continued with their winning streak in their fifth game and beat Canada 64-31 to book themselves a place to fight for a Bronze medal against Singapore and won 47-41. Well done girls,we are proud of you.
