The Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) is facing a last minute hurdle in its attempt to send a team to the Confederation of African Athletics Under-18 Championships in Abidjan, with P200, 000 needed for the trip.

The team is expected to fly out tomorrow, but the association has not figured out where it will pluck the P200, 000 gap from.  BAA intends to send 23 athletes and three officials, who include two coaches and a manager.
