In another match Kaole team went on to record a 41-32 victory over Crocodile.<\/p>\n<p>Also national team men\u2019s and women\u2019s were divided into two teams each, A and B teams. The Men\u2019s A team won 62-53. In the women\u2019s category, the national team A beat the B side 53 -43 .<\/p>\n<p>However the battle could not end so they were no champions. Nyoni, however, has lauded teams that managed to turn up for the event despite a playing in a difficult weather.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to extend my gratitude to those who made it possible for us to run this event. \u201cI thank Tanga Kabaddi representative Jasaline Shungi who contributed 50,000\/- for the national teams, Phares Magesa from Tanzania Basketball Federation (TBF) and our supporter Pangani Pure Drinking Water for their huge support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rain-disrupted event also made history to be the first Kabaddi game in Tanzania to go live on facebook. The Indo-Tanzania kabaddi has been hosted in Tanzania for the past three years.<\/p>\n<p>According to Nyoni, the matches were also televised by Sportcares of India, a move that enabled local players to showcase their talent and be seen outside the country.<\/p>\n<p>Nyoni said Buffalo Kabaddi Club (BKSC) under the aegis of TKSA has been working harder to popularise Kabaddi among youngsters in school and helped to make gain a stronghold countrywide.<\/p>\n<p>Among others Nyoni said the main objectives of the said event was to look for players whose standards fit the national teams.<\/p>\n<p>It also aimed build a longexisting friendship between Tanzania and India through sports and to strengthen the unity among the players and their stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Nyoni said the event aims at preparing and strengthening national teams and they also will use this game to mark World Kabaddi day 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
