The fourth round of the Namibian fistball league will take place at the Cohen Fistball Club this weekend.

The first matches start at 16h00 tomorrow with the u12 and u15 youth categories showcasing their skills, while the u18 league matches will be played thereafter.

At the last tournament, SKW A won the u12 category, but their only competitors this time will be SKW B.

SKW A will be the team to beat in the u15 category after winning all three the previous tournaments this season.

Two other SKW teams as well as CFC will also compete in this category.

In the u18 category SKW A has a three-point lead over SFC A, which has six national players and was defeated 2-0 in their last meeting.

Both teams have already qualified for the semi-finals, but the players from the coast will still have unfinished business with SKW A.

The league is completed by three more SKW teams, although SKW D will not be competing this time around.

The National A and B League encounters will be played on Saturday from 08h30 onwards, with a total of 20 teams from three clubs competing against each other.

In the National A League, CFC 1, record champions SKW 1 and the youngsters SFC 1 have already qualified for the semi-final play-offs in September, regardless of what happens on Saturday.

CFC 1 is at the top of the log with 36 points and cannot be caught, while SKW 1 and SFC 1 are joint second.

CFC 2, SKW 2 and SFC 2 will battle it out for the last semi-final spot.

The last league round before the play-offs in the National B League will be particularly exciting.

Only SKW 7 has no chance of becoming champions, but the remaining six teams all have an opportunity of qualifying directly for the semi-finals.

However, sixth-placed SFC 3 and bottom-of-the-log SKW 7 will not be in action this weekend.
