Windhoek \u2014 Host Namibia is finding the going tough in the Under-21 Confederation of Southern African Netball Associations (COSANA) Youth Games, underway in Windhoek.<\/p>\n

Namibia is yet to win a game after three rounds of matches and suffered its 3rd successive defeat when it went down 27-47 against the rampant South Africans yesterday. In other action, Malawi easily waltzed past Botswana 43-24 to top the long standings in the four-nation youth tourney.<\/p>\n

The Namibians lost their opening match by 34 goals to 47 against the fast improving Botswana, at the Wanderers courts on Sunday. Namibia started off like a house on fire and finished the first quarter leading by a one-goal cushion (7-6), but Botswana moved into another gear and opened a sizeable lead of 7 goals at the end of the 2nd quarter (22-15).<\/p>\n

Namibia fought back gallantly and trailed their opponents by 8 goals, going into the final quarter (33-25) but the visitors were in no mood to compromise and emerged 47-34 victors.<\/p>\n

In their second match, Namibia came face to face with continental champions Malawi and held her own by finishing 2 goals adrift at the end of the first quarter 10-12.<\/p>\n

However, the silky Malawians had other ideas and stretched their slender lead to 19 goals upon completion of the 2nd quarter (31-12) before building an insurmountable lead of 43-18 going into the decisive final quarter. Final score: Namibia 28-55 Malawi.<\/p>\n

The hosts were dealt a severe blow when leading goal shooter Muuaa Tjipetekera suffered a concussion after she fell and landed awkwardly on her back.<\/p>\n

The lanky African Stars goal poacher was rushed to hospital and early signs indicated that she would be out for the rest of the tournament.<\/p>\n

In other action, South Africa and Botswana locked horns in an action-packed encounter on day two of the four-team round robin youth tournament.<\/p>\n

Action swung from end to end with the two neighbouring nations exchanging positions on the scoreboard at will.<\/p>\n

Botswana led 10-9 in the opening quarter but South Africa was not to be outdone either and returned the compliment with a 21-19 scoreline at the end of the 2nd quarter.<\/p>\n

However, Botswana took the game by the scruff of the neck and wrestled the lead away from their much-fancied opponents – taking a 1-goal lead (27-26) to set up a thrilling finish. The girls from the rainbow nation had the last laugh as they came out tops 36-34 in a closely contested affair.<\/p>\n

Malawi and South have a date against each other today @08h30 to be followed by the Namibia\/Botswana clash @10h00.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe and Swaziland pulled out of the tournament at the eleventh hour, thus reducing the regional youth tourney to a four-nation event. All the teams will play each other twice.<\/p>\n
