The
Copa Coca Cola provincial finals held at Masvingo Christian College last week saw
Pamushana, Hippo Valley and Mwenezi High schools securing slots in
the annual Copa Coca-Cola national finals to be held in Kadoma on 11-13 July.
The
competitions are in their 31st edition for boys and ninth edition
for girls.
National
Association of School Heads (NASH) Masvingo provincial head-in-charge, Tranos
Mbwirire said Masvingo will be represented at the finals by two teams in the
boy’s category of the Under 15s and a single team in the under-15 girls’
category.
“Pamushana
and Hippo Valley High School will represent us in the boys’ category, the
former appearing as the national defending champions while the latter qualified
as the best team in the province outside of the defending champions. We will be
represented by Mwenezi High in the girls’ category,” said Mbwirire.
Mwenezi
High secured a slot in the national finals after defeating champions
Chidyamakono by one goal to nil,” said Mbwirire

On
their way to victory, the Pamushana boys overcame Chiredzi Government High by
7-0 before overwhelming provincial defending champions Hippo Valley 3-0.
 “We are very happy with the performance that
was displayed by the boys. We were waiting for this result. The boys are going
to make the province proud, they are going to return the trophy home,” said Pamushana
coach Bernard Matenga.
Mwenezi
High School head Cuthbert Chuma said he was pleased with the achievements of
his team.
“I
am very happy that the girls have succeeded. They have been working very hard
since last year. In last year’s competitions, they lost in the provincial
finals so they worked harder this time around to avoid that mistake,” said
Chuma.
In
nationals, Mwenezi is likely to face Nyamauru High School; the national
defending champions from Manicaland since Masvingo and Manicaland province were
drawn in the same group.
