Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Prisons men won by 33 goals against Notwane\u2019s 31 in a scintillating Lucara Botswana Netball League south zone game in Gaborone on January 20.<\/b><\/p>\n

Notwane started well, hence ending the first quarter 14 to Prisons\u2019 seven.<\/p>\n

However, Prisons turned the tables during the second stanza with the quarter ending at 23 apiece for both sides.<\/p>\n

Notwane coach, Thato Sekokonyane said they struggled with fitness as they had little time to prepare for the tournament.<\/p>\n

He applauded Prisons men\u2019s team for coming out tops in a tough game.<\/p>\n

For his part, Prisons coach, Boikhutso Tuelo, said they started the game on a low note due to Notwane\u2019s outstanding centre.<\/p>\n

But, he said Notwane\u2019s weakness was on defence, so Prisons capitalised on that.<\/p>\n

In an interview, BONA south league committee spokesperson, Regent Pitso said Lucara had sponsored the league with a whooping P300 000.<\/p>\n

Pitso said five of the eight teams in the league had male sides.<\/p>\n

He said other than institutional teams, most players belonged to BOTESSA, which was on recess giving them an opportunity to play.<\/p>\n

He also said four top teams from the south will play the four of the north in Orapa and Letlhakane.<\/p>\n

In other games, BDF Cats lost 46 to Jwaneng Netball Club while Prisons women lost 33 to 52 of Vipers while UB Crystals received a 38 slap to 48 of Thamaga Jaspers.<\/p>\n
