Former champions Tshwane gain momentum at national netball champs
Tshwane are one point ahead of Mangaung in the senior A division standings.
The Gauteng North district side, Tshwane, emerged victorious at the Spar National Netball Championships in Cape Town on Saturday, showcasing their momentum and determination to reclaim the SA title they last won six years ago. After defeating the hosts, Cape Town, with a score of 59-52, Tshwane established themselves as one of the only unbeaten teams remaining in the competition.
They also secured a friendly win over the Namibia international squad, with a score of 54-50. Although games against the international teams did not count towards the points table, Tshwane's impressive record of winning all four of their official fixtures stood out. With just one day of round-robin games left before the play-offs, Tshwane held a one-point lead on eight points, just ahead of Mangaung in the senior A division.
Cape Town secured third place on six points, while defending champions Johannesburg claimed fourth with five points. The remaining teams, Dr Kenneth Kaunda, Nelson Mandela Bay, and Ethekwini, all had two points, while Alfred Nzo remained at the bottom with no points after suffering four defeats.
