Spectators witnessed four exciting Erongo netball league matches at the Kuisebmond Stadium in Walvis Bay on Saturday afternoon.
Eleven Arrows clinched a double victory by defeating Sorento Bux with an impressive 50-11 as well as Phoenix 1 by 50-3. Eleven Arrow’s team captain, Evelyn Muinjongue, said their game against Sorento Bux was an easy one. “I think we had an advantage because all of the intimidating players I know from Sorento Bux did not pitch today. We were targeting a 60 but we are also content with the 50 points we scored.”
