JUSTISIA SHIPENA

In a very intense Momentum schools’ league game between OK Foods Moria Private School from Outjo and Windhoek Gymnasium, played in the capital on Saturday afternoon, Gymnasium won by a single point. Moria led 14-10 at halftime, but the hosts pulled up their socks in the second half, and won the game 25-24.

Before the match, Windhoek Gymnasium coach Jaco Engels mentioned their previous games were not up to standard, and that they will deliver in their best in the match against Moria. “The team has been shuffled after the academy week, which took place in South Africa, due to a few injuries,” Engels said.

“There were a few players from the second team who assisted the first team players.”

Moria captain DJ Holtzhausen said the game was tough. “This was a stressful game, but we gave it our all and enjoyed it at the same time,” he said. James Heyman frightened the crowd when he sustained a serious neck injury.
