The third meeting of the Fistball championship which was held on the sport fields of Windhoek Ramblers produced a couple of surprise results. The log leaders of the National A and B league suffered their first defeats of the season.

The current league champions Sport Klub Windhoek (SKW) 1 started the game against their club colleagues, SKW 2 as favourites but soon found themselves trailing by 3:1 sets. The managed to regroup and came back strongly and equalized. In the decisive set SKW 2 however showed a gritty resolve which allowed them to win the set convincingly with 11:4 points. SKW 1 however remains top of the log, three points clear of SKW 3 with Cohen Fistball Club (CFC) 1 trailing far behind in third place.

CFC 3, log leaders in the National league B, suffered their first defeat of the 2010 championship campaign at the hands of a young and motivated SFC 1 side. The Swakopmund team however remains in second spot on the log one point behind Ramblers 1. Ramblers 1 did not manage to inch closer to the top of the table since they did not have their full squad available due to injury and thus could not take advantage of the log leaders slip up.

With an impressive series of wins the U14 team of Cohen FC managed to draw level on points with the SFC at the top of the log. The Swakopmund team did not deliver on their potential and narrowly keep top spot in the league as they have won more sets. SKW remain in third spot.

The increased investment in youth development by Namibia’s Fistball clubs is also bearing fruit. All players nominated for the coveted Player of the day award were under 18 years of age. The eventual winners Erik Kolb and Nikolai Hof from the Swakopmund based SFC Sport Club are participating in their first full championship season.

The next round of league games is scheduled for 10 July and will be hosted by Cohen FC. This will be the last event before the U18 national team will depart for Spain to participate in the U18 Fistball World Cup.
