Meanwhile, Luveve High School will host this year’s edition of the National Association of Secondary School Heads (Nash) Under-17 inter-provincial volleyball championships today.
The two-day tournament will see the top volleyball-playing schools from the country’s 10 provinces battling for honours in both boys and girls categories.
The Nash-sponsored tournament will be held for the first time in Bulawayo and will be used to select the national volleyball team for the Confederation of School Sport Associations of Southern Africa ball games which, ironically, will be staged in the city in August.
Luveve High, St Columba’s and Eveline all from Bulawayo will face nine other provincial champions.
The refurbishment of Bulawayo’s main sports stadiums White City, Barbourfields and Luveve for the AUSC Region 5 Under-20 Youth Games opened a new door for Zimbabwe to host international tournaments and will come in handy for the August competition.
