Old Boys take lead in hockey league
Four big hockey matches took place in Windhoek last weekend, as the Bank Windhoek Field Hockey Premier League entered its fifth round.
In the Men's Premier League, youth was pitted against experience in a match between Windhoek Old Boys Sport Club (WOBSC) and Saints. while the latter's women's side looked like the team to beat in the Women's Premier League.
WOBSC's men's team remain the only unbeaten side in the tournament so far.
In the first match of the men's premier league, Unam encountered a BDO Wanderers side that has upped its tempo over the past couple of months. BDO Wanderers emerged victorious with a 3-1 score line.
It was a game that shocked Unam, who did not expect to lose. BDO Wanderers with its new approach looked focused on the day as they did not give any space to Unam's tactics. This could hamper Unam's chances of lifting the trophy. Stefan du Preez of BDO Wanderers was the top goal scorer.
In the second game WOBSC played Saints in a titanic clash that would pit youth against experience. The game was in high tempo as both sides had many opportunities to score.
Goalkeepers from both teams were in outstanding form as they kept their goal posts closed. With eight minutes to go it seemed as though Saints would persevere but that was not the case as WOBSC came back to draw the game 2-2. WOBSC's player Siyabonga Martins was the top goal scorer with two goals.
The Women's Premier League was also exciting as Unam faced BDO Wanderers.
The tightly contested match ended in a one-all deadlock. A solitary goal for BDO Wanderers was scored by Bianca Muller and Ina Louise scored Unam's goal.
The match between WOBSC and Saints concluded the weekend. It was a difficult day for WOBSC who had to play with a second string team as the regular players were unavailable for the fixture. Saints, who looked like the team to beat in this division, took over this advantage.
They won the match 3-0 and now sit on top of the log.
