Hockey team set on winning
LIMBA MUPETAMI
Namibia's senior inline women's hockey team played to a three-all draw in a friendly match in Germany on Saturday.
It was the first practice match against Blau-Weiss Köln, a team which plays in the German women's premier league in Cologne.
The Namibian team had two more training sessions yesterday before taking on the number one in the world, the Netherlands, this afternoon at 15:00 Namibian time, and again tomorrow at 11:30 and 15:00 in Amsterdam and Utrecht.
The hockey team is preparing for the fifth Indoor World Cup which will take place in Berlin from 7 to 11 February. In their preparations they also played tournaments in Cape Town last December.
According to coach Erwin Haindura, the first match was physical.
“Our defensive tactics worked out quite well and both goalkeepers did pretty well,” he said.
The players will take on an under-18 youth team from Rott-Weiss Köln Hockey Club and on Thursday play a newly promoted team, Bonn.
