Indoor hockey league kicks off

The Bank Windhoek National Indoor Hockey League (NHU) starts today.

The first matches of the 2017 national indoor league will be played at the Windhoek showgrounds and Wanderers.

A record number of teams have entered in the three men’s and women’s national indoor leagues, with more than 50 teams and an estimated 470 to 500 hockey players from 12 clubs will participate this year.

The matches will be played at the DTS Hall, International Hall at the showgrounds, the Dome Sports Complex in Swakopmund and the Wanderers Hall.

This year the Premier League will be a showcase of exciting Namibian indoor hockey with a number of national players playing for their clubs’ premier sides.

The first men’s premier match for the season will be played between the experienced Unam side and the young and somewhat unpredictable Saints team on today at the showgrounds at 20:30.

Last year the Saints team, mainly consisting of U-18 players, almost caused an upset when they narrowly lost against Unam during their first clash.
