Malawi Queens finish bottom at fast 5 tournament

The Malawi National Netball Team has lost all of their games at this year’s Fast 5 World Netball Series Campaign in New Zealand.

The queens finished bottom of the table, after losing all its six matches at the two-day tournament.

Malawi Queens lost to New Zealand, Jamaica and England on Saturday, and on Sunday they were beaten by Australia and South Africa in their group matches.

Then they faced Jamaica in the fifth-place playoff where they went down 36 to 31.

The squad had UK-based shooter Joyce Mvula and defender Towera Vinkhumbo-Nyirenda and local-based experienced players Thandie Galeta, Sheilla Dimba and Loreen Ngwira.

Melbourne Vixens shooter, Mwayi Kumwenda, opted to stay out of the squad to give a chance to youngsters.

Australia have won the competition for the second time in a row after defeating New Zealand 35 -23, England finished third with South Africa taking fourth position and Jamaica are fifth as Malawi anchor the standings in sixth place.

Malawi had their best finish at the competition in 2016 when they took bronze.
