By Uche Dozie
Defending Champions Angola and host Cameroon are the finalists of the 24th edition of the CABH African Senior Women's Handball Championship, BSNSports.com.ng can report.
Host Cameroon qualifies for their fourth final of the Championship after beating four times champions, Congo while Angola edged Tunisia to defend their title on Wednesday.
The Handball Lionesses's quest to lay their hands on the trophy for the first time is in the offing after conquering Congo by a point margin on the last four stages.
A compact Cameroon team who have not lost in this year's tournament so far pulled the chestnut out of the fire to win the Congolese by 22 goals to 21.
For the defending Champions Angola, they had to crack a hard nut in three times champions Tunisia in a pulsating semi final.
By half time, the 13 times champions were trailing by 12-11 goals in the half, but the Angolans showed Champions stuff rallying to equal score 21-21 before the end of the second half.
At prolongation, the Perles of Angolo drew strength from within to go into a three margin difference lead for the first time in the game finishing 24-21.
At the second prolongation, the momentum continued for Angola to win 27-23.
The final contest will be on Friday at the Multipurpose Sporting Complex in Yaoundé, Cameroon.
