Western Cape Willows champions of the Telkom Netball Championship

The Western Cape Willows came out on top during the annual Telkom Netball Championships for u18 teams. This year’s tournament was hosted by DF Malan in Cape Town.

The Willows defeated Gauteng Gamma by 35-26 in the final of the tournament.

Nonkcubeko Mjaliswa of the Free State was awarded the accolade of being the best u18 player at the tournament. She also received this award in 2022 in the u17 age group during the tournament.

Last year the tournament was still known as the All Ages tournament. Simoné Swanepoel (Helpmekaar-kollege) of Gauteng was named the best shooter, while Kayla Dames (Paarl Girls’  High, Western Cape) walked away with the award as the best mid-court player.

The best defensive player in this age group was Thandolwethu Mokoena (Mpumalanga).

During the u17 tournament Gauteng Lambda was crowned champions as they defeated the Western Cape Oaks by 34-30 in a closely contested final.

Jade Atkins (La Rochelle) from Paarl Girls’ High was named the best overall player at the conclusion of the tournament. Kabura Abubakar (Limpopo) and Kiara van Eeden (Noordheuwel, Gauteng) walked away with the awards for best shooter and best mid-court players respectively.
