Izintombi and PEXA
collaboration held a charity tournament on the 9th of August 2019. The
main objective of the tournament was to donate things to the needy the teams
fought tooth and nail for the top spot, they all gave in their best performance
but unfortunately one team had to be crowned the champions.
YWHM and DIMCO went head to head in the netball games held
at Block CC Soshanguve. It was one of the toughest games in the
tournament.DIMCO, the defending champions played with their hearts to keep the
title again this year but YWHM which locked horns with DIMCO in the finals also
fought hard for the championship.
YWHM managed to snatch the championship from DIMCO by a one
goal difference.DIMCO had control of the game from the beginning but tables
changed just after half time and YWHM took over.
Kelebogile, who plays for DIMCO says “the game was fair
because the empires were fair in the beginning of the game, but when they saw
that we were winning they started referring things which were not even there,
however overall we are happy that we made it to the finals even though we lost
to YWHM with just one goal which shows that if there was more time we were
going to claim the title again”.
On the other side YWHM was excited that they gained victory
over DIMCO and to being the champions of the Izintombi and PEXA tournament. One
of the YWHM players noted “the game was really tough, when we saw DIMCO leading
we gave up because they are a strong team, they know what they are doing, but
that one goal made us the champions and I am proud of my team mates.
With DIMCO LOSING 16-17 T to YWHM it was difficult for them
to accept their fate. “I am very disappointed that we became second best this
year, but I don’t blame my team they gave in their best effort, there has to be
a loser and a winner in every game and this time we are the losers, we will
rectify our mistakes and reclaim our championship on the next tournament” said
DIMCO coach Donald Maluleke.
