Action in the FNB Women Super League continued over the weekend as the halfway mark of the 2023-2024 season was concluded.
In thrilling action at the NFA Technical Centre in Windhoek, Anna Shikusho and Memory Ngonda each scored a brace to give their side, Ongos Ladies FC, a 5-0 victory over V-Power Angels on Saturday.

This means that defending champions Ongos continue to be at the top of the log and are seven points clear.
Ongos Ladies’ head coach, Shama Gure, said they did not apply their strategic approach. “We played more according to V-Power Angels’ style, but we collected three points today and that is important. Our performance could have been better, but the players did not have their goal scoring boots on today.”
