Oshikunde win Sport for Environment tourney
Oshikunde Combined School were declared the overall champions of the Sport for Environment tournament held for the first time at Mandume Ndemufayo Primary School in Okatope over the weekend.
Oshikunde reached the final after beating Mandume Ndemufayo Primary School 3-0 in the semi-finals, while in the other semi-final, Eembidi Combined School defeated Oumbada Primary School 4-3 on penalties after a zero-all stalemate.
“Eembidi were expelled and disqualified from the tournament after cheating, so Oshikunde were the eventual winners,” said one of the tournament organisers, Edward Kapewasha, during the prize-giving event on Sunday.
Oumbada and Mandume Ndemufayo finished second and third, respectively.
As the champions, Oshikunde scooped the top prize of 15 gold medals, a floating trophy and N$3 000.
