They were 25-10 ahead at halftime and in the second half, they restricted the Cape team to six goals against their 29.Coach Elsje Jordaan was satisfied with the outcome.\u201cI thought we played a better game today, and all my young players had at least half a game.\u201cI am very proud of my team \u2013 with six Under 21 players in a squad of 10, it&#8217;s a massive achievement just to reach the final.\u201dIn 2019, Dr Kenneth Kaunda were unbeaten until the final, which they lost 54-48 after extra time. By contrast, Tshwane had been beaten twice in the round robin, losing to Dr Kenneth Kaunda and to Mangaung.\u201cWe&#8217;re still struggling with the loss last year, but this year is another opportunity for us,\u201d said Jordaan.\u201cWe know we are not going in as favourites. Tshwane are the defending champions and they know how to win. But we have nothing to lose and a gold medal to win, so we will give it our all in the final.\u201dIn the second semifinal, Tshwane had a decisive 55-23 win over neighbours Johannesburg.On Thursday, Tshwane beat Johannesburg 37-29. \u201cWe had a good talk last night,\u201d said coach Jenny van Dyk.\u201cWe decided to take complete control of the court and to avoid the 50\/50 umpiring decisions.\u201cWe had a much better game today,\u201d she said.Spar Protea goal shooter Ine-Mari Venter, who was injured earlier in the week, made a welcome return to the court in the second half.\u201cIt was good to see her able to play again,\u201d said Van Dyk.\u201cBut Tanita van Dyk, who is still Under-21 did really well and she is a player to look out for in the future.\u201dTanita van Dyk is the niece of netball superstar Irene van Dyk, who played for South Africa and New Zealand.\u201cShe definitely has the genes and she is learning very fast. She has gained a lot of confidence during the week,\u201d said the coach.She said she expected the final to be a very tough match.\u201cDr Kenneth Kaunda are hungry, but so are we.  I think our loss to them earlier in the week make us even more determined to win tomorrow.\u201cI like tough matches, because they bring out the best in my team.\u201d The finals will be played on Saturday, 12 November 2020 and broadcast live on Supersport Variety 3 from 08h45.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
