Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Zimbabwe men\u2019s and women\u2019s hockey teams have qualified for the 2023 All Africa Games (AAG) in Ghana after winning in the Central-South Africa Qualifiers final games played at St John\u2019s College AstroTurf this Sunday.<\/p>\n

They both won gold medals in their respective categories at the St John\u2019s Educational Trust Astro-turf in Harare on Sunday.<\/p>\n

They headed into their respective finals having already secured their places at next year\u2019s African Games to be held in Ghana.<\/p>\n

In the first final of the afternoon, the Zimbabwe women\u2019s side beat Namibia 1-0 to be crowned the winners of the Central-South Africa Qualifying tournament.<\/p>\n

Zimsportlive reports that 37-year-old Zimbabwe hockey star Natasha Hess retired from international hockey in style by scoring the only goal of the match to inspire the local ladies\u2019 team to victory.<\/p>\n

The win meant the Zimbabwe women\u2019s team which early this year finished a creditable fourth at the Hockey Africa Cup of Nations in Ghana completed the regional qualifying competition with an unblemished record.<\/p>\n

a). They drew 2-2 against Namibia last Thursday<\/p>\n

b). Beat Malawi 11-0 in their second match two days later<\/p>\n

c). Beat Namibia 1-0 on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe men\u2019s hockey former captain Tendai \u2018Redz\u2019 Maredza also retired from international hockey following a 3-2 win over their higher-ranked neighbours Zambia in the men\u2019s final.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe\u2019s captain Brad Heuer was the man of the match.<\/p>\n

The win was revenge for the Zimbabwe men\u2019s team, who lost via a similar score line to Zambia in the group stages before bouncing back with a 6-1 win over Malawi to book their place in the final.<\/p>\n
