Welwitschias move off the foot of the log

Darryl de la Harpe

The Welwitschias picked up their first point in their Vodacom Cup campaign following their narrow 29-27 defeat to defending champions Griquas on Saturday. The Welwitschias collected a point for losing by less than seven points, which sees them moving off the foot of the table for the first time this season.

The wooden spoonists position has now been taken by the Falcons, who still have to open their account after losing their opening three matches. They have a points deficit of 107 compared to Namibia’s deficit of 62 points.

Western Suburbs winger Brian Haihambo is set to make history when he becomes the first Namibian to be signed up by an American Football team in Switzerland in April.

Haihambo is one of Namibia’s most talented young rugby players, having represented his country at Under 19 and Under 23 level, but now he could be lost to the 15-man code as a new career in American football has presented itself.
