Diamonds have now 33 points from 11 games, while Tigresses are now on second position with 30 points from 11 games as well.

In Thursday’s game, Gerald Tasaukadala started with some energy as they led 2~0 in the first 4 minutes.

However, an exciting Diamonds stole the show with some classic  netball, especially on the centre where Bridget Kumwenda and Shiera Dimba gelled well.

Despite missing the services of Towera Vinkhumbo and Alinafe Kamwala,Diamonds showed determination and the zeal to go on top of the log table.

After the final whistle, Diamonds coach Griffin Saenda praised his charges for the victory and vowed with the winning mentality.
