By Rebecca Gichana

 

Egypt will represent Africa in next year’s World Junior Championship after emerging champions in the just concluded 20th edition of Junior African Championship.

The Pharaohs squeezed a slim 25-23 win over Tunisia to win the title in the hotly contested finals played at the Safaricom Indoor Arena, Kasarani, over the weekend. The match started on a high note with both teams having their share of chances Egypt took a 12-11 in the breather but on resumption, Tunisia came in strongly to record 15-12 lead but were not able to maintain the lead and win the match 25-23.
