Squash Malawi has departed from the routine of rewarding female players for their mere participation in tournaments by holding the first-ever Ladies Squash Championship at Capital Hotel in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
Squash Malawi Publicity Secretary, Chiku Nkutumula, said the intensity of the games provided a reminder of the days when top female squash players, such as Sharon Chishimba and Emily Chifwembe from Zambia, came to town.<\/p>\n
Nkutumula said the ladies were awesome in organisation, determination to play and surprising in delivery.<\/p>\n
Lucille and Golda Kavinya were the unknowns but respected packages, Ennet Chipungu, Alinafe Banda, Linda Kapanda and<\/p>\n
Priscilla Kandoole represented the usual threat.<\/p>\n
Tendai Rashid, Christina Mkutumula, Tamanda Chikopa and Kahaki Jere formed the spanner in the works.<\/p>\n
In the final, Chipungu defeated Banda by three straight sets.<\/p>\n
Speaking during the prize presentation, Squash Malawi President, Jimmy Kawaye, could not hide his amazement and admiration.<\/p>\n
\u201cHats-off to the ladies for the squash spectacle. The level of squash displayed was absolutely unimaginable. We have seen strength, resolve and technique,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Rodgers Siula of Ovation Advertising pledged continued commitment to squash support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
