Netball fiesta comes to Windhoek
The third and final edition of the Debmarine Namibia Senior Regional Netball Championship is expected to thrill at the Khomasdal netball courts as players have put in work to represent their regions.
Fourteen regions will be taking part in the championship which started in 2017 and was played in Windhoek that year.
Last year it was played in Swakopmund. The Khomas Region will get tough competition from the other regions as they are defending champions and have won the championship three times in a row.
The netball clashes will kick off today with the first match between Khomas and Erongo starting at 18:00.
That will be followed by a match between Omaheke and Otjozondjupa at 18:30. Hardap will play Kunene at 19:00; following which Kavango West will clash with Omaheke at 20:00.
Matches will then again take place on Saturday starting at 08:30, with the semi-finals and finals to be played in the evening.
Netball Namibia's (NN) public relations officer Rebekka Goagoses said they want to make a lasting impression with the championship and that regions have gone all out, with Kavango West even having a training camp in the coast to prepare for the weekend.
“Each one of us come from a region, so please come out and watch the matches and support your players,” she said.
The winner of the championship will receive N$30 000, gold medals and a floating trophy, while the second- and third-placed teams will walk away with N$15 000 and N$9 000, respectively.
The regional teams have been placed in two pools. Pool A consists of Hardap, Kavango East, Oshana, Kunene, Ohangwena, Zambezi and //Karas, while Pool B consists of Omusati, Khomas, Erongo, Otjozondjupa, Kavango West, Oshikoto and Omaheke.
