THE Zimbabwe Zone VI darts team is expected to converge in the capital 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 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 represent the country.
The NDAZ president Meynard Moyo believes the platform is good for development as it caters for young players.
“The feature is what we always look forward to and we will have players in U-15 and U-18 representing us,” Moyo said.
“We used to have players from Under-25 but for development’s sake we have since resorted to using much younger players. The good thing 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 a more improved one this time.”
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 the 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.
