Gunners win netball tourney
The regional netball tournament for Otjozondjupa took place at the Paresis Sports Complex.
The Mighty Gunners netball team at Otjiwarongo on Saturday won the 2017 regional Dinolo Super Netball tournament that is sponsored by the African Deli Company.
The Walvis Bay-based company is unique in that it processes ready-to-eat traditional food from northern Namibia.
African Deli Netball coordinator Charlane Minnaar, in a chat with Nampa on Saturday, said Mighty Gunners will now represent the Otjozondjupa Region at the national Dinolo Super Netball League on 30 September 2017 in Swakopmund.
Minnaar said 11 netball teams in the Otjozondjupa initially indicated their participation in the tournament, but due to lack of transport, only seven turned up.
The teams are the Osire Senior Secondary School, Monica Geingos Junior Secondary School, Mighty Gunners, TransNamib Devils, Otjozondjupa Namibian Police Force (NamPol), Eleven Warriors and Paresis Senior Secondary School.
The Mighty Gunners as winners received a cash prize of N$2 000, followed by the Eleven Warriors with N$1 500 in second place and Nampol in third place with N$1 000.
Minnaar said a similar regional tournament was held in the Khomas, Erongo, Hardap, Omaheke, Kavango West, Oshana and Oshikoto regions.
She said the next regions are Omusati, //Karas, Kavango East, Ohangwena, Kunene and Zambezi.
Winners of these regional netball tournaments will participate at the Dinolo national netball league finals.
“The main objective of holding the league at the regional and national levels is to develop netball amongst women in all 14 regions,” Minnaar said.
She said the overall league winners at the nationals in Swakopmund will receive N$15 000 followed by N$10 000 for second place and N$10 000 for third place.
