Hosts Botswana was hoping yesterday to achieve its highest points haul in the Zone VI golf tournament behind Kenya and regional powerhouse South Africa. On the last day, Botswana had 13.5 points, one short of their 14.5 best mark they attained last year when they finished fifth.

The East Africans had 18.5 points, after winning five of their eight singles match plays while South Africa with 16.5 points had won three by mid-day. The two title rivals were due to meet yesterday afternoon.

Meanwhile Botswana ended day three of the tournament at fourth spot after managing 2.5 points in the better ball category. Botswana team manager O'Neal Mokgosi told Mmegi Sport yesterday that he was unhappy that his team could not manage three points, which was their target.
