Zambian volleyballers fail to qualify to All-Africa Games

Xinhua, May 8, 2015 Adjust font size:

Zambian volleyballers failed to qualify for the 2015 Congo Brazzaville All-Africa Games after a dismal performance during qualifier games in Botswana, the Zambia Daily Mail reported on Friday.

The men's team lost 3-1 to Botswana in the opening match on Tuesday night at the University of Botswana while the women's team were trounced 3-0 by the hosts, according to Daily Mail.

Zambia Volleyball Association technical commissioner Steve Kasinka, who released the results, said the men's team suffered another humiliating 3-1 defeat at the hands of Mozambique on Wednesday while the women' s team lost 3-0 to Mozambique's women team to remain at the tail of the table without a point.
