The league is set to host games at Gobabis and Tsumeb simultaneously this weekend, where Gobabis Akademie is set to take on the Okahandja CC and Unam Zebras on 22 June at Gobabis Gymnasium.
The Tsumeb Gymnasium team is set to take on RW-Southern Kings and RW-Predator Nation on 22 of June at the Tsumeb Gymnasium sport fields.
The tournament will culminate in semi-final matches and a final to be played at the Walvis Bay Oval in the coastal town during the weekend of 13 and 14 July.
