Reflecting on the weekend\u2019s performance, Namibian coach Julene Meyer said despite the mixed results, she is happy with the team\u2019s overall performance at the tournament so far, as the girls are improving with each match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope the players are learning from each game played thus far, because we want to be at a stage where we can be comfortable with our games,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Malawian coach Peace Chawinga-Kaluwa said she was happy with the win and how her team played, saying it was not an easy match, as the Namibians threw the entire kitchen sink at them throughout the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNamibia was really on top of their game; they gave us a tough time, as they ran their lungs out. But I\u2019m happy with how my girls responded to the test at hand; we expected a tough game but we responded very well,\u201d said Chawinga-Kaluwa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
