Chess Gambit Pays Off at 2012 Awards

Chess took the spotlight from football in Friday’s 2011 sports personality of the year awards held in Lusaka.

International master Daniel Jere was voted sports man of the year while teenage Epah Tembo scooped the sports woman of the year award.

Football won in the junior men’s and trainer of the year categories.

Nkana striker Evans Kangwa won the junior award while Zanaco and Zambia Under-20 coach Keagan Mumba picked up the trainer of the year award.

The duo won for their 2011 COSAFA Youth Championship success in Botswana where Kangwa scored seven goals to inspire Zambia to retaining the regional title.

Female golfer Devanshi Naik won the junior sports woman of the year award.

However, there was a controversial choice for team of the year that when to the women’s rugby team.

Overlooked was the netball team who were Zambia’s high performers at the 2011 All African Games where they won their first-ever medal with a bronze.

The sports administrator award went to Zambia Motor Sports Association boss Marco Comana.

  1. A different sort of bonus would be the variable benefit, this means you gat a particular percent on the sum an individual deposit. The percentage differs for every single site – it could be 20% as well as 50%. Some casinos even offer a 100% casino bonus. This is the way to have people in the electronic game suites, but a good online casino bonus means you have to play by some guidelines especially when you wish to redraw your hard earned money. This is actually difficult because whenever you get a good online casino bonus you have to meet a number of conditions that happen to be not very easily accomplished. Nevertheless, your efforts will probably be rewarded.
