Arie Schans, who acted as the Brave Warriorsâ?? caretaker coach in Ghana, was officially appointed as head coach by the NFA last month and arrived in Namibia on Independence Day to take up his new post.

Ramblers finished the first round of the MTC Namibia Premier League on a high note when they beat their closest rivals Cymot SKW 2-0 on March 9 to go two points clear at the top of the log.

The match had to be replayed after a thunderstorm ended the first encounter prematurely after about 35 minutes. At that stage Ramblers were already leading 2-0 through goals by John Samson and Nelson Akwenye, but in a near carbon copy of that match, Ramblers once again beat SKW 2-0 in the replay a week later. Samson and Akwenye were once again the goal scorers while Bradley Wermann gave an inspired performance in midfield, providing both the goals.

The April 2008 issue of Namibia Sport is available now.
