Schools from towns across the country took part in the league, including Edugate Academy, A Shipena Secondary School, Pionierspark Primary School, Ella Du Plessis Secondary School and Okahandja Secondary School, amongst others.All the teams played with heart and enjoyed their time.Katherine Topnaar, captain of the Windhoek High School under-17 A team, said they enjoyed the game but lost to Edugate due to simple mistakes, but added that they would bring flames next time."Capricorn Group remains committed to creating sustainable opportunities in the regions and communities within which we operate, hence our support to the young future female leaders," the company said.
