Exciting fistball championship in home stretch

Staff Reporter

WELCOME RETURN ... Andre Meng in action for the SFC Sport Club in the Bank Windhoek National A League. Meng is one of the newly capped U18 national players that will be back in ac- tion on Namibian soil after participating in the U18 European Championship in Austria last month.

NAMIBIA’S fistball players will meet for the Fourth Round of the Bank Windhoek Fistball League in Swakopmund on Saturday. Matches will be contested in both the Bank Windhoek National A League and B League from 8h00 at the Swakopmund Fistball Club Sport Club.

These are the last league games before the championship play-offs in September when the league winners will be crowned.

The team that clinches the top spot on the log after this weekend automatically qualifies for the final, while the second and third placed teams will meet in a semi-final match in September to determine the second finalist.

SKW2 is virtually assured the top spot in the National A League as neither second placed Cohen FC 1 nor SKW 1 in third will be able to surpass the team that has been on top of the log for the entire season.

SKW1, however, still has a chance of catching Cohen FC 1 and take second place in the league.

The two teams will meet this Saturday in what is expected to be the game of the day.

Meanwhile, hosts SFC have their sights set on moving off bottom spot, something they can only achieve should they defat fellow strugglers Cohen FC 2.

Affairs in the National B League are just as similar, with Cohen FC 3 also runner-way leaders. They have not lost a game this season and is the clear favourite to take the league title for a fourth consecutive year.

Second placed DTS meanwhile need to be wary of SKW 3 and Cohen FC 4 with both sides have their sights set on the second spot on the log.

Cohen FC 4, especially, have a point to prove after their disastrous outing during the last round of games where they moved from second to fourth place on the log.

The team has shown in the past that they have the potential to win against any team in the league.

SFC 2 will need to settle for last place on the log. After winning the season opening tournament, things have not gone the way of the coastal side and they only have an outside chance of reeling in one of the other teams.
