Polytechnic produced a great perfomance on Saturday as they beat Machinjiri Sisters 44-40 in the Rainbow Paints Blantyre and District Netball League at Blantyre Youth Centre.

Despite losing 67-28 in their early kick-off  against Chilomoni Sisters, the students came with new ideas in their second game.
