Botswana faced two Lesotho teams (Likakapa and Lesotho A) and South Africa\u2019s SA Lightning.<\/p>\n

In the first game (Day One), Botswana trounced SA Lightning with an emphatic scoreline of 66-18. Botswana then emphasised their impressive start with a 55-28 victory over Likakapa.<\/p>\n

On Day Two of the competition, Botswana played three games and did not break a sweat much as they easily put their opponents aside. The first team was Lesotho A which Botswana thumped 52-6 by Botswana.<\/p>\n

Botswana then defeated Likakapa again, 35-22 this time as the Lesotho outfit made it more of a contest than their first encounter.<\/p>\n

In the last game, Botswana defeated SA Lightning 30-16 to become the only team to win all fixtures in the tournament. The unbeaten run saw Botswana named Champions of the Tournament.<\/p>\n
