School sports revived this weekend
There were tears of joy from some schools while others were left inconsolable in a weekend filled with sport drama.
It was an action-packed sporting weekend as schools gathered at the Hage Geingob Stadium and the Windhoek Gymnasium Private School to battle for top places in the Namibia School Sports Union leagues.
The Momentum-sponsored schools' rugby competition was the highlight of the sport activities in the capital.
Some schools exited the competition, while others went on to triumph in several sport codes.
The dominance of some schools in sport was evident during the competition as they swiped away other schools. Excited parents of the participating athletes packed the stands to cheer for their schools' teams.
The officiating of matches was top-notch.
Hockey, netball and rugby at the end of the day brought smiles to many spectators' faces.
Windhoek Gymnasium ran riot in the netball league with emphatic victories over their opponents.
Fans watching from home were treated to a special live coverage on Namibia Media Holdings' (NMH's) social media platforms.
The games will continue next week with the Momentum Schools' League quarterfinals while the hockey league finals will be played.
