Glow Petroleum finishes league on high note

GLOW Petroleum finished the season on a high after securing a 42-40 win over ZRP Mambas on Saturday in the Rainbow Amateur Netball League (RANL).

Coach Perpetua Siyachitema admitted that the game against Mambas was a tough one.

Glow Petroleum got their revenge over Mambas following a 27-24 defeat in October.

“I was anticipating a tough game. Mambas are not an easy team to play against. Last time, when we played in the tournament, they won by three goals, so we knew that the game was going to be tough,” Siyachitema said.

“This was our last game. We will have to wait for other teams to play their games and see which position we will occupy.”

Although they won, Siyachitema wasn't pleased with the performance of some players.

“I was disappointed with my shooters. I was expecting that my shooters were going to play according to instruction, but they failed. I had to take my goal attacker back to her usual position. I was also not happy with the level of officiating, it was very poor,” she said.

She said Glow Petroleum would not go on holiday despite the league having run its course, they will start preparing for next season.

“Definitely, I will start preparing for next season because if you notice, most of the players, I think it is due to COVID-19 restrictions, they have put on some weight so I need to work on their fitness and endurance,” Siyachitema said.

ZRP Mambas next week faces Tenax and Correctional Queens to mark the end of this season.
