Unguja, who came back from two earlier defeats they suffered in the first and second quarters, missed about six clear \u2018free throws\u2019 that could have given them the ticket.<\/p>\n<p>The whole technical bench of Unguja was totally disappointed from their misfortunes, turning their heads down when the final whistle blew up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe failed to capitalise on those free throws, otherwise it was our match to win,\u201d said Unguja\u2019s head coach, Daruweshi Shamuni.<\/p>\n<p>The first quarter saw Temeke leading by 17-11 and extended their lead in the second quarter to win by 20-14. Unguja came from behind to win the remaining quarters by 15-11 and 24-18 but, it was too late for them to match the score.<\/p>\n<p>Upendo Mpera steered Temeke to the narrow victory, posting 23 points as Faraja Malaki supported 10 others. Tupege Lazaro had on the other hand netted 17 points for Unguja with Bhoke Juma scoring 15 others.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a tough match, but thank God we won,\u201d said Khadija Issa of Temeke. She said that her team could have won with a big margin had they utilised well the chances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had no accurate passes and did not respond well to rebounds,\u2019 said Issa. The win will therefore see Temeke playing in today\u2019s final against a winner of last evening\u2019s match that CRDB Youth were pitting against hosts, Dodoma. Meanwhile, Mbeya were late in the evening on Friday, they expected to play Songwe in the men\u2019s semifinal while Ilala had the same assignment against Temeke.<\/p>\n<p>The would-be winners will today play in the final.<\/p>\n<p>CRDB has sponsored the event that has brought together 36 men and women teams from both Tanzania mainland and the Isles to compete for the national level honour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: SULEIMAN JONGO AfricaPress-Tanzania: MWAJUMA Paul of Unguja had to blame herself for failure to convert points after missing an important decisive final \u2018free throw\u2019 that could have given her team a ticket to play in CRDB Taifa Cup final against Temeke.
