Claire Machisa in action at Girls’ College yesterday

Sports Reporter
THE curtain comes down today on the fifth edition of the Tarryn-Leigh De Souza Memorial Tournament with national Under-12 top seeds in the boys and girls’ categories Ethan Sibanda and Claire Machisa favourites to clinch the Under-14 titles. Sibanda and Machisa have been moved to compete with older players in a move meant to give them better competition.

“We realised that they (Machisa and Sibanda) don’t have any match challenge in the Under-12s and decided to have them compete in the older age group. All final games will be played tomorrow,” said Thesly Mufunda, the tournament referee.
