Namibia continued on their losing streak and this time around they lost to Malawi 24-58 in a one sided affair at the U21 Netball Championship of the Confederation of Southern African Netball Associations (COSANA) on Wednesday in Windhoek.

Namibia found the going tough from the onset and only managed to score 2 goals in the first quarter compared to Malawi's 20.

Things went from bad to worse for the home side, as they were restricted to a mere six goals in the second quarter, to go to the halftime break trailing 8-38.

Namibia’s fistball community will meet in Swakopmund this weekend to determine Namibia’s indoor fistball champion. The cup tournament will be hosted from 10h30 at the SFC Sport Centre. Teams from the Cohen Fistball Club, Sportklub Windhoek (SKW) and SFC will participate. The tournament does not form part of the Bank Windhoek National Fistball Championship.

This is the only tournament of its kind in Namibia. Indoor fistball differs from the outdoor variety as the field of play is shorter and players must get used to the hard playing surface which makes the game faster.
