Volleyball action heats up countrywide
Sport Reporter
The Bank Windhoek Namibia Volleyball Federation (NVF) leagues are in full swing, as central, Kavango, far north, Erongo and Zambezi association teams continue to impress.
This past weekend saw teams demonstrate their desire to be crowned champions in their respective leagues.
Central
The pace was lifted in the central league, as the season nears its end. In the female category, Rivals Volleyball Club leads the log, followed by Namibia Defence Force (NDF), Khomas Nampol and Deutscher Turn-und Sportverein (DTS), who are all tied on points.
In the male category, Khomas Nampol is top of the log, followed by NamPower, with NDF and 21BDE edging closer.
The weekend saw a titanic clash between Khomas Nampol and NamPower, with the latter emerging victorious with a 3-2 win.
Kavango
The Kavango league saw teams pick up speed in the second round. In the male category, the reigning champions, Rundu Volleyball Club, are a few points ahead, with University of Namibia (Unam) Vipers fast closing in as title contenders. Unam Vipers currently top the table in the female category.
Far north
In the women's division defending champions Oshana Nampol top the table and have been crowned as the 2018 Far Northern Volleyball champions with a game in hand. The 2015 champions, Six Stars, are currently in top form after recording a nine-game unbeaten run in the men's division. They stand a good chance of being crowned champions.
Erongo
In the men's division, Erongo Nampol is currently top of the league, followed by Namibian Navy A and the Walvis Bay Municipality. The Namibian Navy, Swakopmund Volleyball Club and the Walvis Bay Municipality are the top three teams in the women's division.
Zambezi
Unam Katima Mulilo Campus and Hippo are currently sitting atop the men's league. There is no women's division.
More matches are scheduled to take place during the month of July. The two top teams from both the male and female divisions from all five regional associations will qualify to take part in The Bank Windhoek NVF Cup later this year. The tournament will see 24 teams compete for the national title.
