Whitewash for Walvis Bay
Namibian Premier League log leaders Unam beat Walvis Bay 44-0 in the second semi-finals at Hage Geingob Stadium in Windhoek.
In a one-sided affair Unam thrashed the Walvis Bay side which failed to impress when they came up against the university team.
In the first minutes of the first half, the Walvis Bay side tried to test the character of Unam players and went in head strong. Captain Bradley Klazen picked up an injury and had to leave the field, replaced by Kami Mieze.
The university side was not impressed having lost their captain and was adamant to show the visitors who was boss.
Lorenso Luis received a free kick which he scored putting Unam six points up.
Chessborough Lawrence of Unam stormed through the Walvis Bay defence and much to their dismay scored a try, which Luis comfortably converted.
At halftime Unam lead 11-0 at the chilly stadium.
Cameron Klaazen in the first minutes of the second half sneaked through the vulnerable defence of the visiting side and put down a try, again converted by Luis who seemed to have brought the right boots to the game, much to the excitement of the crowd.
For the Walvis Bay side, it felt like the floodgates of doom opened as yet again another try was scored by Barry Grande. Luis stepped up to convert it once more, putting them 25 points up.
In the last 15 minutes of the game, Renaud van Neel tested the pace of the visiting side as he ran across the field to score a try.
There was no hope in sight for the visiting side as Unam's defence stood strong, blocking all their attempts to score.
Frank Mowa and Tjino Tjihare did well for the team and were substituted to give Denver Murorua and Romanzo Lento a chance to show their skills.
Luis, having converted all the tries, got more involved in the game as he caught the ball from his teammate Klaazen and pushed through the visitors' defence to score a try. The athletic Luis failed to score the conversion but Unam were not worried as they had already secured a win.
The team is enjoying an unbeaten strike of 27 matches since last year. Unam has a lot of depth and the players come packed with a lot of speed and agility.
In other premier league games Grootfontein beat West Coast Sharks 50 – 28 and Etosha Lions beat Seaflower Ocean Swallows 51 – 1.
In the Reserve League FNB Wanderers (2) win with 36 - 12 points over FNB Western Suburbs (2), FNB Unam (2) walk away with a 33 - 11 win over Reho Falcons (2).
