THE Zimbabwe Zone VI darts team is expected to meet in Harare ahead of their trip to Blantyre, Malawi, tomorrow. The team is made up of junior players who have come through the National Darts Association of Zimbabwe’s development programe. The fourth edition of the Zone VI will be held in Malawi from Wednesday to Saturday and it is the Zimbabwe Under-15 and Under-18 players who will be representing the country.
The NDAZ president Meynard Moyo believes the platform is good for development as it caters for young players.
“The future is what we always look forward to and we will have Under-15 and 18 players representing us,” Moyo said.
“We used to have players from Under-25 but for development’s sake we have since resorted to use much younger players. The good thing is that the players are coming from the association’s development structures so they are likely to do well in the tournament.
“The event will be held for the fourth time and we are happy that it has been going on well during the past years and hopefully it has improved this time around.”
Moyo said the players were being assessed in their respective provinces ahead of the prestigious event.
“The players are in good shape as they were practicing in their respective provinces so I think they are ready for the event.
“Everyone is prepared and ready to go. Most of the players are likely to be some future national team players so such exposure from high profile tournaments is good.
“The team will travel to Malawi tomorrow and as of now we still have the same players who were announced. I am hopeful we will do well in the event,” added Moyo.
