RANL Chairperson Melody Garikai thanked all teams for great performance last season despite facing some challenges during the season.
“The 2021 has not been an easy one due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A lot of disruptions occurred forcing all of us to make a lot of adjustments to our initial plans,” Garikai said.
“We had to embrace new playing formats which were quite new to us. We want to thank everyone for being part of the adjustment process. The games were played in a bio-bubble set up. Despite the difficult scenario, the game went on smoothly up to the end of the season.”
The RANL 2021 season ended abruptly due to the outbreak of the omicron variant which hit the country late last year.
RANL opened their season with a Dry Run tournament whilst their end of season tournament which was also scheduled for December was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
