“Thank you Mavericks supporters, parents, players and managers. Without you we are nothing. I have nothing to say much about this season, I only gave away one win to Tornados then I came back strong to win each and every game till the end,” said Mcetywa.
“There were some challenges that could take me off but I use sportsmanship to continue with my team and it helps us to get here. I have strong young players and they are willing to learn. It is very important to use the young ones instead of seniors. I would like to thank each and everyone of my girls,” said Mcetywa.
Mavericks men's side also won the Grand Challenge against Silvertree Titans last week.
