Coach Lazarous Tembo is impressed with his team's performance despite losing the final group match to defending champions, Tonga at the ongoing Pacific Australia Netball Series in Gold Coast. On Wednesday, Zambia played the World Defending and 3rd World Ranked team, Tonga who won 59- 47 goals. Tonga being the Champions, put up a good performance during the first half with a lead of 31-24 against Zambia. "Knowing the ranking of Tonga, It was a tough game but I should say that I am impressed and proud of the team's performance," Coach Lazarus said. However, Zambia has today qualified for the semi-finals of the Auspacific Netball Series after defeating her neighbor, Malawi by 50 - 46 goals in the Crossover Preliminary Round. In a tight match, Malawi was leading in the first quarter and third quarter of the match with half-time only halting with a two-goal difference. Malawi's good play was however shuttered by the Copper Queen's who have qualified to two games away from lifting the trophy. As it stands, Zambia is likely to meet just-defeated Malawi in the semi-finals of the Netball series. #ZambiaKuchalo Photo Credit-Netball Zambia
