Nail-biting FNB Classic Clashes
The FNB Classic Clashes continue to produce thrilling match, with great talent on display.
St Joseph's Dobra proved too strong for Eldorado High School, as they defeated the Khomasdal youngsters 27-18 in their FNB Classic Clashes netball match.
The game was played at the netball courts of the famous Khomasdal Sport Stadium.
The future stars of Namibian netball showed why the country has been improving in the sport, with their calculated passes and attacks.
The visiting team began the game slowly, building a marginal 8-7 lead in the first minutes of the game.
St Josephs, however, picked up momentum and came back firing on all cylinders in the last quarter of the game, to earn a comfortable victory away from home.
Their goal attacker, Djizuvira Uakurama, impressed in her new position, wowing the small crowd with some of creative passes and goal scoring.
St Joseph's captain Matundu Vendjimuna said after the game: “We performed very well, and we came to win, and we did our best. My advice to the other team is to train a bit harder and push.”
Emilia Kavungo of Eldorado was named Aqua Splash hero, while Klenda Ketjivaundje of St Joseph's was crowned the FNB Classic Clashes player of the match.
On Saturday, hosts Windhoek Afrikaans Privaatskool (WAP) beat visiting rivals Tsumeb Gymnasium 42-31 in their FNB Classic Clashes rugby match.
The match was a one-sided affair as the hosts scored one try after another and Tsumeb Gymnasium struggled to find their way through the WAP defence.
The support by more than 250 spectators was fantastic and the well-played match ended in a win for WAP.
WAP's Danie van der Merwe was crowned Aqua Splash hero and man of the match.
“It's a very tough game whenever we play Tsumeb Gymnasium, but I think it was a great solid and fair game and our team showed all we have been trained to do.
“We want to thank FNB Namibia for showing the importance and value of playing FNB Classic Clashes every year.”
