The three month-long TNM-sponsored sponsored Match-play Tournament is expected to wind up at Blantyre Sports Club with two teams facing-off on the greens Saturday.<\/p>\n
The qualifying tournament started on July 8 and has culminated into the match-play men\u2019s and ladies\u2019 finals.<\/p>\n
In the men\u2019s main event, a team comprising Gerson Araujo and Charles Nseula will battle it out against Victor Jere and Rui Araujo.<\/p>\n
In the singles\u2019 plate category, Peter Khaki will play against Gilton Chiwaula whereas in the ladies\u2019 category, Rosa Mbilizi is up against Carol Banda.<\/p>\n
Other golfers, including those that fell along the way, are open to compete in the stable-ford category.<\/p>\n
According to TNM Match-play referee, Dingaan Chirwa, all is set for the finals.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are coming to a grand finale this weekend. We started with the qualifiers on July 17 and 32 teams in the men\u2019s main doubles and 14 ladies in the singles\u2019 category made it into the first-round of the tournament,\u201d Chirwa said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt has been an exciting three months and we are looking forward to an equally exciting finale. The difference between match-play and other tournaments is that it is played over a longer period of time and golfers really need to be consistent if they are to be recognised.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nseula said he was looking forward to the finals.<\/p>\n
TNM\u2019s Senior Manager\u2013 Business Services, Limbani Nsapato, said the company was happy to have contributed towards the development of golf in Malawi through the tournament.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis tournament has given us a completely different dimension to golf sponsorship in our drive to grow the sport in Malawi. Let me wish the finalists a successful outing on the course,\u201d Nsapato said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
