We have a full weekend of sporting activities ranging from rugby, soccer, netball and hockey to swimming, gymnastics and inline hockey. The National Short Course Swimming Championships take place at the NSA Pool in Olympia from Friday to Sunday, while the Bank Windhoek Central Zone Gymnastics Championships take place at the Windhoek Showgrounds.

In soccer the final playoff matches for promotion to the Premier League take place with Blue Waters, Friends and Invincible still in the running.

The scene is set for the long-awaited FNB Rugby Classic Clashes match between the two Afrikaans Private schools, Elnatan Private School and Windhoek Afrikaans Private School, better known as WAP, locking horns in the return leg on Saturday, 18 July.

The FNB Rugby Classic Clashes match will take place at the Wanderers Fields and WAP as the host school has planned a jam-packed programme starting with a performance of pom-pom girls at 09h30. The schools will field their netball teams at 10h00 and the Under 14 rugby teams at 11h00. The main FNB Rugby Classic Clashes match starts at 12h15.

The Spes Bona Alfa Romeo Fiat Inline Hockey Tournament began on Wednesday afternoon as the puck was dropped punctually at 16h00 to an evenly matched game between Kamikaze and Badgers in the 8 & under division. The close 1-0 game in favour of Kamikaze was a fitting start to what will be five continuous days of exciting inline hockey at the Cazadores rink. This first match-up was followed by 10 additional games during a brisk evening of play between the three Windhoek-based inline hockey clubs.
