A day after spoiling junior golfers in Blantyre, Alliance Capital Limited hosted a juniors\u2019 golf tournament at Lilongwe Golf Club last Saturday.<\/p>\n
Chris Mzokomera was crowned the overall winner in the boys\u2019 category with a gross score of 81 whereas Doreen Lazaro won the girls\u2019 category.<\/p>\n
In his acceptance speech, Mzokomera thanked the sponsor for the tournament and encouraged his fellow juniors to work hard.<\/p>\n
Taking her turn, Lazaro said: \u201cI am happy that I have won. Thank you sponsors. We appreciate your support. For those of you that have not won, do not be sad. Just work very hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the boys\u2019 competition for those aged between 12 and 14, the winner was Frank Babu while Limbani Banda and Kamoza Longwe finished second and third, respectively.<\/p>\n
The eight to 11 year-boys\u2019 category saw Andileya Buleya, Temwa Longwe and Isaac Chaika scooping gold, silver and bronze medals, respectively.<\/p>\n
In the same age bracket for girls, the championship went to Ireen Matius while Sam Waziya scooped the runner-up position. Mafunase Kuwali was third.<\/p>\n
The tournament saw kids as young as four taking part.<\/p>\n
There was, therefore, a category for the Under-Seven whose overall best player was Only Sagwirika.<\/p>\n
Speaking during prize presentation ceremony, Alliance Capital Limited Business Development Executive, Elizabeth Likhunya, said she was overwhelmed by the turnout of the junior golfers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are always pleased to associate ourselves with the kids. Investment, which is our business, is about kids. Therefore, we will continue to be involved with you,\u201d Likhunya said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are back here in March next for Lilongwe\u2019s first inter-schools tournament. Our aim is to reach out to schools in Mzuzu then hopefully by the end of the year, we would realise our dream of a national event.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
