SSS brings the trophy home again!

For over 11 years FNB (First National Bank) has hosted the classic clashes between Swakopmund Secondary School (S.S.S) and Coastal High School (C.H.S), but an era of sporting excellence has come to an end.

This year’s classic clashes were the last classic clashes to be hosted by FNB and S.S.S seem to never disappoint. The match between the two traditional rival teams kicked off on Friday 31 May 2019 at the Vineta stadium from 15:00 till 16:30.

The game was a true classic, with both teams putting their best foot forward and playing their hearts out. Both teams showed tremendous prowess and determination but sadly there can only be one winner at the end of the day.

With the help of his fellow team mates Pinky Geingob a grade 10 learner at S.S.S scored all the goals and was named man of the match. The final score was 4 – 0. “A few days before the match Pinky was asked by a follower on social media (Instagram) how many goals he would score against C.H.S. He replied that he would score a hatrick (3 goals) but exceeded his target with an extra goal which made me so proud of him” said Carmen Zomaya Scheffers a matriculant at S.S.S.

Micheal Nghitombwa another matriculant and a school soccer team player added that “Our school is so far the only school from Swakopmund that won the classic clashes 2019 and I am proud of effort we allput in to make it happen”.
