Charles Anderson School wins Santam tourney

SANTAM sponsored an under-15 development tournament that was held in Oshakati last weekend to the tune of N$10 000.

The donation was made after the insurance company saw a need in the North to develop and improve football amongst the youth. “Most soccer players start in secondary schools, but in order to motivate the youth one has to start at grassroots level.The kids where really happy because they are usually not taken into consideration,” said Aina Nghikembua, the underwriting clerk of Santam Oshakati.The four school teams that qualified for the tournament were selected from the Oshana and Omusati regions.The tournament started with a superb 10-0 win by Charles Anderson Primary against Onamutai Combined .The second game left Onampira Combined celebrating when they defeated Ondjora Combined 2-0, while the semi-finals put Ondjora in third place when they won 5-1 against Onamutai.The first goal in the final was scored by Onampira Combined’s Andreas David in the fourth minute, followed by Charles Anderson Primary’s Iimpodi Risto in the 19th minute and Nenkavu Benjamin in the 28th minute.The match came to a draw when Amwalwa Reinhold scored a goal for Onampira Combined in the 39th minute.Victory was sweet for Charles Anderson Primary when Iilongo Wenzel scored a final goal in the 40th minute.”Most soccer players start in secondary schools, but in order to motivate the youth one has to start at grassroots level.The kids where really happy because they are usually not taken into consideration,” said Aina Nghikembua, the underwriting clerk of Santam Oshakati.The four school teams that qualified for the tournament were selected from the Oshana and Omusati regions.The tournament started with a superb 10-0 win by Charles Anderson Primary against Onamutai Combined .The second game left Onampira Combined celebrating when they defeated Ondjora Combined 2-0, while the semi-finals put Ondjora in third place when they won 5-1 against Onamutai.The first goal in the final was scored by Onampira Combined’s Andreas David in the fourth minute, followed by Charles Anderson Primary’s Iimpodi Risto in the 19th minute and Nenkavu Benjamin in the 28th minute.The match came to a draw when Amwalwa Reinhold scored a goal for Onampira Combined in the 39th minute.Victory was sweet for Charles Anderson Primary when Iilongo Wenzel scored a final goal in the 40th minute.
