Zimbabwe Zambezi Eagles lost their second match at the Telkom Netball League yesterday. Golden Fireballs beat them 61-40 at Sun City Superbowl in North West province. The Eagles started well with goal shooter Sharon Bwanali making most early shots. But Fireballs took control fast, leading 15-10 after the first quarter.

The South African team completely dominated the second quarter. They stretched their lead to 32-15, as the Eagles managed just five goals. Zimbabwe missed many scoring chances throughout the game. They struggled to keep the ball, and poor passes hurt them badly. Nicole Muzanenamo briefly replaced Wadzanai Zimunya at goal attack before Zimunya returned later.

Fireballs coach Elsje Jordaan praised Zimbabwe for adding international flavor to the tournament. She said Bwanali and Muzanenamo brought experience from bigger competitions. Assistant coach Stembile Banda admitted her team fell short during the intense match. She pointed to the second quarter as when everything went wrong for the Eagles, with missed opportunities and weak defense.
