TWIGA SEE STARS AS SHE-POLOPOLO PROGRESS TO FINAL ROUND! Zambia Womens National Team through to the final round of the Namibia Womens Africa Cup qualifiers 3-2 on aggregate after holding Tanzania 1-1 this afternoon. Aisha Rasheed got the Twiga Stars noses in front at a packed Azam Stadium in Dar-es-Salaam. It was 1-0 at the interval. The match tied at 2-2 on aggregate Tanzania were going through on away goals having lost 2-1 at Nkoloma Stadium on Valentines Day. With the capacity crowd-which entered the match free of charge- booing Charles Chisala Bwales charges every move, Suzen Banda popped up with a late leveller that broke the Tanzanian hearts. The She-polopolo face either Zimbabwe or Botswana for a place in the finals. Zimbabwe won the first leg 1-0 in Gabarone. An elated She-poloplo team manager Besa Chibwe has confirmed the result. The girls played with real determination. The crowd was intimidating but they held their nerve and were extremely undeterred. I am very excited. The girls have done us proud, she has told me in a phone interview from Dar-es-Salaam.
