ZTA rescues women’s tourney

The Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) is on Monday expected to upend its earlier decision to turn down the request by Cosafa to host the 2011 edition of the Cosafa women’s football championships here.

The tournament is expected to kick-off on Saturday July 2 and will run until July 9.

Indian Ocean islanders Reunion were supposed to host this year’s edition pulled out last week due to financial pressures, forcing the organisers to move the tourney to Zimbabwe.
