Harare — The atmosphere was electric last night at The Alibi Restaurant in Lewisam as the Zimbabwe U20 Junior Sables, led by head coach Shaun De Souza, were given a spirited send‑off ahead of their upcoming tour.

The event drew an impressive gathering of honorable guests, parents, friends, and members of the media, all united in their support for the young rugby stars. The Junior Sables themselves carried the evening with discipline, determination, and visible excitement — qualities that reflect the promise they hold as ambassadors of Zimbabwean rugby.

A special acknowledgment goes to The Alibi Restaurant, which graciously hosted the meet‑and‑greet send‑off. Guests praised the venue’s exceptional service and outstanding cuisine, with many noting that the restaurant’s hospitality added a memorable touch to the occasion. By opening its doors to the national youth team, The Alibi demonstrated the vital role small businesses play in uplifting communities and supporting national sport.

This gesture of solidarity is more than symbolic… it underscores the importance of community backing for grassroots and youth development. As the Junior Sables embark on their journey, the nation rallies behind them, confident that their hard work and passion will shine on the international stage.

From the warm send‑off to the resounding cheers of support, one message was clear: Zimbabwe stands firmly behind its Junior Sables U20. Best of luck, lads… the country is with you every step of the way.
