“As the HVA we had two competitions, the HVA Open and the HVA Grand Prix. In addition, we also had the MNL competitions which were based on the performance of the teams in the provincial competitions. Overall, the competition has been stiff given that we have had different finalists and winners from our finals in 2021 until now which shows how competitive the teams are now.

“Of course, UZ Wolves and Black Rhinos are slightly edging most of the teams with most appearances in finals,” Nhamburo said.
