Mwananchi Queens cruised into the quarter finals of the NSSF Media Cup with a convincing 29-4 win over Free Media in a one-sided netball match at the TCC court yesterday.

Mwananchi Queens, who finished runners-up in last year’s edition, will now take on Habari Zanzibar in one of the quarter-final ties next week at the same venue.It was the second victory for Mwananchi Queens in the tournament, which has attracted teams from various media houses in the country.

In their first match, the Mwananchi ladies trounced New Habari Corporation 15-5 earlier this week.Despite lacking the services of their key player Doris Maliyaga (GD), Mwananchi played their hearts out and put their opponents at bay right from the onset.

Iman Makongoro (GA) was a real thorn in the flesh for Free Media defence. She netted 24 goals and Zaina Malongo (GS) had four.Line-up for Mwananchi Queens: Oliver Albert, Salome Milinga, Pamela Chilongola, Mwanaidi Abass, Zaina Malongo, Doris Malyaga, Imani Makongoro.
