Local netball powerhouses, Tigresses and Thunder Queens, are determined to make the most of their test match scheduled for today at Blantyre Youth Centre.<\/p>\n
Netball Association of Malawi (Nam) General Secretary, Carol Bapu, said The Hunger Project Malawi has supported the match to raise awareness on females\u2019 condoms.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Hunger Project Malawi saw the need to involve netball in their programme because the sport is mostly played by women. They felt using Tigresses and Thunder Queens, who are crowd-pullers, will help them advance awareness on condoms for females,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Before the netball games, officials from the teams, Nam and The Hunger Project Malawi will be involved in a march.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Tigresses and Thunders are determined to fine-tune ahead of the Rainbow Paints Southern Region Netball League\u2019s second round\u2019s throw-off.<\/p>\n
Thunder Queens\u2019 Captain, Joana Kachilika, said they will use the game to gauge their strength.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to see which areas we are doing fine and where we are failing,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Tigresses\u2019 Coach, Peace Chawinga-Kalua, said they wanted to use a new formation during the match.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am training my players to fit in any position and formation so that we can change our system and game-plan in the course of a match,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
