FS Raiders women’s side were crowned the Harare Province Rugby Board Team of the Season at an annual awards ceremony on Saturday.
It followed the end of the Exide 7s Series tournament at Belgravia Sports Club.
The team, who had seven players at the podium, beat two men’s sides — Old Georgians and Pitbulls — to the Team of the Year award.
Fresh from winning the Zambia Independent Trophy, where they had a clean sweep of honour, the side had Tatenda Mufambisi and Lissy shining.
Pitbulls’ Nigel Tinarwo won the Player of the Year award while Praise Mutandahuruva was voted the Rookie of the Year.
Chiwoniso Mabika won the senior Female of the Year award.
