No stopping Gymnasium

Andrew Poolman and Elizabeth Joseph



Windhoek Gymnasium clinched the most prestigious title on the final day of the Steers primary schools rugby finals, when they beat Pionierspark Primary School by a whopping 57-12 on the latter’s home turf.

Gymnasium scored nine tries against two. Following the halftime score of 24-5, the Pionierspark resistance proved futile, as the red and black team scored five tries within the next 13 minutes.
