THE Old Mutual Zimbabwe Under-17 rugby team ended their participation at this year’s Under-16 South African Rugby Grant Khomo Week on a winning note when they defeated Namibia 41-13 at Hoërskool Rob Ferreira High School in White River on Friday.
It was a great display by the Marvin Chirume coached Zimbabwean lads which saw them get the better of the Namibians in what is always an eagerly anticipated fixture between the only international teams at the SA Rugby Grant Khomo Week.
Prop Happious Zhou, lock Tamuka Kambani, number eight Tanaka Ndoro, scrumhalf Panashe Zuze scored a try each while first centre Alex Nyamunda went over the line twice. Zuze also booted in one conversion while flyhalf Zvinoda Zhikoto kicked in three conversions and one penalty goal.
It was a great end to the Grant Khomo Week for the Zimbabwean lads who finished with two wins out of the three matches they played. They started off with a 24-17 loss to the Griquas in their opening match at the tournament on Monday before they won 10-0 over Border Country Districts on Wednesday.
