]]>Lady Cheetahs
If you are not aware, the Lady Cheetah’s are Zimbabwe’s very own female rugby team.The team is currently ranked fourth in Africa and competes in the regional tournaments and also international tournaments organized by Rugby Africa and World Rugby.
The girls put on a great performance at the recent 2022 Africa Cup pre-qualifiers tournament which were held in Maseru, Lesotho.
Africa Cup Pre-qualifiers Performance
The Lady Cheetahs gave their all at this tournament in Lesotho and left undefeated with 160 points all in all. They were part of the 5 teams competing to make the Africa Cup and managed to be the only team that didn’t face defeat in any of their matches.
The teams they played and respective scorelines were as follows:
Lesotho 62 – 0
Namibia 39 – 0
Mauritus 20 – 0
The team managed to qualify for the Africa Cup with a game to spare…Well Done Girls!
If the team maintains this performance at the Africa Cup, we’ll be seeing them at the Sevens Rugby World Cup next year. The World Cup will take place on South African soil for the first time.
This is not the first team to fly the flag high internationally this year. Whilst the nation was healing from the AFCON Warriors disappointment, the Zimbabwean female hockey team was also representing the nation, playing on our 1980s Golden Girls level.
