Netball Association of Malawi (Nam) says it is using the on-going Airtel Money national netball trophy to scout for Under-21 national team players.<\/p>\n
Nam general secretary, Carol Bapu, said this ahead of district finals set for this weekend.<\/p>\n
The Under-21 team is expected to take part in Africa Netball World Youth Cup qualifiers in Gaborone, Botswana from July 23 to 30.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, the Airtel Money national netball trophy has become handy in our quest to identify Under-21 players. The forthcoming district finals will help members of the technical panel and Nam executive members to identify possible players to feature for the team once we name a coach,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
The Under-21 last participated in World Youth Championship in 2009 when it was held at Rarotonga in Cook Islands.<\/p>\n
Malawi finished fifth during the championship, which Australia Under-21 won.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Bapu said the Airtel netball trophy had progressed well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have not received complaints, and this is an indication that things are smooth on the ground,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Last week, Nam released a calendar of events for the richest local netball competition.<\/p>\n
The district finals will be held this weekend while regional finals are scheduled for April 23 and 24.<\/p>\n
Nam has also set the weekend of May 19 to 21 for national finals of the competition in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
