Namib Daughters lead Swakopmund Women's Soccer League
Namib Daughters Football Club on Saturday climbed to the top of the Swakopmund Women's Soccer League (SWSL) after picking up three points at Swakopmund's Mondesa Stadium.
Daughters lost their first fixture against African Queens after failing to make it to the game on time, but picked up three points later in the day after their opponents, United Nations, failed to show up for their fixture.
With only one game left for most teams to complete in the first leg of the 2017 league, which kicked off in the middle of July, Daughters are two points clear of the chasing pack, with 12 points from five games played.
Dream Team are second on 10 points, while African Queens take up the top three positions with nine points.
Defending champions Dragon City are in fourth position with eight points while the new kids on the block, Super Ladies from Walvis Bay, are fifth on the log with six points.
Arandis-based Kavetu FC are sixth with five points.
The bottom of the log is occupied by another newcomer, United Nations, who have no points after five games.
The league is scheduled to conclude with its first-leg games this weekend.
League chairperson Wilson Nguvauva told Nampa on Monday that the league had a problem with teams not turning up for matches, which made it easy for other teams to pick up points without kicking a ball.
Nguvauva added that Dragon City finished playing all six of their first-leg matches last weekend.
The amateur women's football league was established in June 2015 with eight football teams based at Swakopmund and Arandis.
Only seven teams now compete. They are Dragon City, Namib Daughters, Dream Team, African Queens, Kavetu, Super Ladies, and United Nations.
Namib Daughters were crowned champions in the league's maiden season in 2015.
