LOG leaders in the Nedbank Premier Netball League, Makate High Flyers had their 14-match unbeaten run checked by favourites, Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) Queens in Aspindale on Saturday.

ZDF beat Makate 40-36 in a match described by league spokesperson Innocent Ndiya as having been exciting.

The army team went on to win another match 80-29 against the hosts Aspindale Queens.
