Namibia’s Riekie Honiball qualified for her second successive final at the ITF Junior South and Central African circuit in Windhoek on Thursday.

After beating Natasha Fourouclas in last weekend’s singles final, Honiball once again reached the final of the second ITF Junior competition, but she had to pull out all the stops to beat South Africa’s Kaylea Sher.

St Paul's College dominated the Namibia Sport Dynamics Coca Cola Schools Hockey Development programme which was recently concluded in Windhoek.

They won all but two of the leagues from U8 to U14 level for hockey teams in Windhoek from schools featuring St Pauls, Windhoek Gymnasium, Windhoek Afrikaanse Privaat Skool (WAP), Pioniers Park and St Georges.

Namibia’s biggest schools rugby competition, the Metropolitan Boards Rugby Trophy enters the semifinal stage this weekend and some exciting encounters can be expected.

Windhoek High School are the defending champions in the U19 Super League but they will have to be at their best if they hope to retain their title. They have been involved in two close encounters against their traditional archrivals, HTS, this season winning their Classic Clashes encounter 15-8, but losing 12-3 at the HTS Schools Championships. WHS were also pushed all the way by Walvis Bay before winning their schools league match 23-20 earlier this season.
