Rammies bury Unam

THE 2004 field hockey league runners-up Ramblers thumped the defending champions Pepsi Unam 3-0 in their women’s premier league match at the Doc Jubber fields on Saturday.

Ramblers scored through Anke Haenzel, Silke Pennefather and Monica Imms, with all the goals coming in the first half. Unam are currently struggling in their league campaign due to the departure of some senior players, while a lack of commitment is also hampering their performance.The departure of many of their key players who have graduated from the university and the generation of new players who have joined the team has contributed to mixed results for the once feared sides in the league.But their coach Heinrich Swartbooi said: “At this stage, I’m building a new team, thus the process is more important to me than the results”.Ramblers are in the hunt for the title, although they lost twice to the in-form team Windhoek Old Boys Sports Club (WOBSC).In the Men’s Reserve league, current log leaders Pepsi Unam continued their unbeaten run with a 1-1 draw against defending champions DTS Draughters.Unam are leading the log with 13 points followed by Draughters with 10 points.In another match played on Saturday, Windhoek Old Boys Sports Club beat DTS 2 by a solitary goal.For the coming weekend on Saturday, July 30, Ramblers will tackle Civics in the men’s premier league, while WOBSC 2 takes on Unam in the men’s reserve league.In the women’s reserve league, Wanderers will lock horns against WOBSC, before Rehoboth takes on WOBSC in the men’s premier league.On Friday, July 29, Unam is expected to play against Civics in the women’s premier league.Unam are currently struggling in their league campaign due to the departure of some senior players, while a lack of commitment is also hampering their performance.The departure of many of their key players who have graduated from the university and the generation of new players who have joined the team has contributed to mixed results for the once feared sides in the league.But their coach Heinrich Swartbooi said: “At this stage, I’m building a new team, thus the process is more important to me than the results”.Ramblers are in the hunt for the title, although they lost twice to the in-form team Windhoek Old Boys Sports Club (WOBSC).In the Men’s Reserve league, current log leaders Pepsi Unam continued their unbeaten run with a 1-1 draw against defending champions DTS Draughters.Unam are leading the log with 13 points followed by Draughters with 10 points.In another match played on Saturday, Windhoek Old Boys Sports Club beat DTS 2 by a solitary goal.For the coming weekend on Saturday, July 30, Ramblers will tackle Civics in the men’s premier league, while WOBSC 2 takes on Unam in the men’s reserve league.In the women’s reserve league, Wanderers will lock horns against WOBSC, before Rehoboth takes on WOBSC in the men’s premier league.On Friday, July 29, Unam is expected to play against Civics in the women’s premier league.
