Civics beat Ramblers 1-0 to move up to third spot on the log on Wednesday night.

Collin Chimu scored the winning goal a minute before the break when he latched onto a loose ball in the centre of the park and unleashed a 30m shot that flew into the left hand corner of the net.

The goal was somewhat against the run of play as Ramblers had done most of the attacking but they could not break through Civics’ defence, which was well marshalled by Donelly Nel and Penias Nzeve.

Namibia’s cricket team takes on South Western Districts in a CSA Challenge match starting at the Wanderers field on Thursday.

That is, if the weather permits. Last weekend they were supposed to play Kwazulu Natal, but there was no play at all as the 3-Day Challenge was rained out while the 1-Day Challenge was cancelled due to a wet outfield.

It has continued to rain in Windhoek throughout the week and a decision on whether play is possible will only be made on Thursday morning according to Namibian coach Johan Rudolph.
