Hwange hit the woodwork on three occasions and coach Nation Dube is crying over those missed opportunities.

The result has seen Dynamos drop to fourth position while Hwange move up to 11th. The director of Dynamos TV, Emmanuel Matsinya, says the team’s poor run of form has even affected the sale of the team’s DVD.

South Africa-based Rutendo Nyahora also took home the same amount after winning the women’s section ahead of Patience Murowe and Faith Nyasango.

And finally in cricket, the Zimbabwe cricket team have lost their three ODI Series against India after succumbing to a 62 run defeat at Harare Sports Club yesterday.
