BOTESSA spokesperson, Duncan Segabo told Mmegi Sport that compared to last year’s brackets competitions, there was a lot of improvement during weekend competitions.
“This year, we had more match officials compared to other bracket competitions and the attendance was impressive from the students,” Segabo said. He said they are proud that college and university students are now taking these games seriously.
He said the turn up was proof that more students are willing to take sports as a career, where they can earn a living.
Three colleges, four universities and four technical colleges progressed to the BOTESSA National Championships to be held at the National Stadium later this month.
