Their hard work, spirited efforts, commitment and sweat may not have paid off as they expected. The Lady Cranes finished third at the Reunion 7’s meet at Stade de route in Saint-Denis on Saturday.
The mission was to win the event but it did not come to pass as they lost 19-12 to the French U-20 in the semis. Coach Anthony Kinene will have to rectify the mistakes committed. “We shall work on our errors before the qualifiers” Helen Buteme, a senior Lady Cranes’ player said.
The Lady Cranes who had lost out on the crown at the Reunion, defeated Tukkies 17-00 to settle for third as French U-20 went ahead to win, beating Madagascar 20-00 in the final.
