In the third position is the Ohangwena regional netball team, which defeated the 2024 Newspaper cup netball champions, the Khomas Region, with 42 points to 33.
Head coach of the Kavango East netball team, Frans Ndara, in an interview shortly after the final game said his team worked very hard during the preparations for the games and that has now paid off handsomely.
