The Polytechnic male Hockey team has won a Silver medal during the College Indoor Hockey Tournament, which took place at the Domasi College of Education in Zomba.

According to the Polytechnic Student Union (PSU) Sports Director Fexter Banda, the Acting Hockey President of the Hockey Association of Malawi (HAM) Mr Krishna Achutan sponsored the tournament.

“The tournament took place on 25th May, which saw teams like Mzuzu University, Polytechnic, Chancellor College, Bunda College and the hosts, Domasi College participating,” he said.

The Polytechnic male team came second while the Bunda team came first winning a gold medal beating all the participating teams through out the tournament.

The Polytechnic female Hockey team did not do well in the tournament losing all games.

“We are in the process of building a new team by training new players since the previous ones finished school. We did not have enough time to prepare them before the tournament because they only trained for a few weeks,” Banda explained.

The sports director explained that he sees potential in the new team if given enough time to train.

The PSU sports director thanks the Polytechnic administration for the support it always gives to sports.

“This much appreciation is shown by winning as we come out with something in every tournament we participate. May God Bless Poly,” Banda
