Netball giants Tigresses have expressed anger following persistent injuries which Sindie Simtowe- Msowoya suffers when her team plays Thunder Queens.<\/p>\n
Tigresses Coach, Peace Chawinga-Kaluwa, was reacting to a recent injury which the shooter suffered when her side lost to Thunder Queens 44-36 in a Rainbow Paints Blantyre and Districts Netball League match on Sunday.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was the same [case] last year. They hit her deliberately throughout the match but the umpires did nothing to protect her. Yet when she retaliated, both players were sent off.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe same thing has happened. She didn\u2019t retaliate but the other player wasn\u2019t sent off. I am beginning to question the integrity of the umpires\u2019 desk because we were told that things would change this season but nothing has changed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Chawinga-Kaluwa said Tigresses\u2019 game-plan was being affected as some players were afraid of putting up a spirited performances.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seems to be their plan to injure our players so that others should be afraid during the game,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Thunder goal-defender Martha Dambo appeared to slap Simtowe-Msowoya in the face and the Malawi national netball team shooter bled profusely as play was stopped in the third-quarter.<\/p>\n
Simtowe Msowoya was eventually replaced and taken to hospital for further treatment.<\/p>\n
Last year, the shooter was involved in a brawl with Malawi national netball team Captain, Joana Kachilika. Both players were fined and suspended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
