Northern Region qualifying rounds for the One Nico Top 12 tournament will be held on 14 and 15 November at Mzuzu Stadium, with three places for the national finals. The Blue Eagles’ 33-32 win over Civonets on 9 November provides context, according to Malawi24.
Three places in the national finals of the One Nico Top 12 netball tournament will be awarded after the Northern Region qualifiers, scheduled for 14 and 15 November at Mzuzu Stadium, Malawi. The teams involved will seek qualification after a Central Region final won on Sunday by Blue Eagles Netball Team against Civonets, 33-32 in Lilongwe, according to Malawi24.
The Lilongwe result illustrates the competition expected in the Northern Region, where teams will have to finish among the three qualifiers to continue their run towards the national title. The national finals are scheduled for 28 and 29 November in Lilongwe.
Chimwemwe Mandalazi, One Nico group’s head of business development, said he was satisfied with the tournament’s progress and public participation. Cecilia Mtukule Bondwe, treasurer of the Netball Association of Malawi, also welcomed the increased participation and standard of the matches, which she considers encouraging signs for the development of grassroots netball.
The Central Region final had been won 33-32 by Blue Eagles Netball Team against Civonets, a result already reported in the Blue Eagles Sisters’ victory over Civonets.
