Below par competition irks volleyball coaches

The two coaches, for both men and women, say competition was below par and has not helped identify their weaknesses. Women's team assistant coach, Isaac Samuel said the level of competition was low.

"I am not able to say whether we won because we were good enough or just because the level of the competition was low," he told Mmegi Sport.  South Africa, which is normally a tough customer for Botswana, did not take part in the qualifiers. Samuel said despite the flimsy challenges from opponents, his side showed improved performance in attack and defence.
