Football tourney to hit Mariental

The tournament is sponsored by Southern Target Investment owned by Theo and Helena Nghilindua. B&R stands for Bernatus and Righteous. They are the children of the sponsors. The tournament was started in 2015 in Mariental and was known formerly as the Winter Soccer Bonanza. The first winners were Try Again FC from Keetmanshoop after they defeated Untouchables in the final by three goals to nil. Untouchables went on to win the tournament in 2016 in Rehoboth by defeating Airport Eagles 10-9 on penalties after a goalless draw. Tournament organiser Rhonie Rhuuksie //Garoeb said they will provide playing kit to each team that reaches the semi-finals. “Most teams struggle to get kit for their teams and this is an opportunity for them to receive a kit for their team. “Also, the tournament will provide a chance for football fans to enjoy the skills of the players. “We have teams from Upington that will also take part and probably one or two players might impress the guys and might help them get contracts with bigger teams.” //Garoeb encouraged other business people to come on board and support the tournament. “Only with their support can the southern teams reach great heights.” Registration fees for interested teams are N$2 500. Winners will walk away with N$30 000, gold metals and a floating trophy. Runners-up will take home N$15 000 and silver medals. Semi-final losers will take home N$7 500 each. Individual awards will go to best referee, best commentator, and golden boot, best player of the tournament, best goalkeeper and goal of the tournament. Closing date for registration is 5 December. Draw will take place on 6 December in Mariental. Games will start on Friday at 18:00. Teams interested in registering can call 081 208 1681.LIMBA MUPETAMI
