SKW VERY
DOMINAT –
The
second League round of the National Fistball League was played this weekend in
Swakopmund and it seems that SKW used the long break the best of all teams, as
both teams in the first league stayed unbeaten, as well their 3rd
team.
Surprise
leader SKW 2 maintained their unbeaten record and stayed on top of the log,
with Andrea Beiter in Defence and Michael Baas on Spike in superb form. SKW 1 leapfrogged
into second position, with a clean sheet on the day, whilst Cohen 1 lost 2
vital games and dropped down to 4th now. Swakop 1 and Swakop 2 A are
still very much in contention.
In
the National B League Cohen 3 is still unbeaten, same as SKW 3 and it looks
like the title will be contested between these two teams only.
What
is however very encouraging for all, is the amount of new youngsters joining
this Sport and it looks like the future for Fistball is very much settled.
The
next league round will be played 17th July in Windhoek

Season Openings Tournament
RESULTS
“ SKW dominates again “
The
Fistball Openings Tournament held this weekend in Swakop started in the same
way as it ended last season, with SKW being the club to set the tone, as they
managed to have 3 teams out of the their four teams entered playing in
the finals, with two Cup wins.
In the A
category 8 teams entered, playing in two groups of 4, and Swakop and
SKW dominated the prelim rounds, with SKW 1 ( playing for the first time
with new signing Stefan Groggily from Switzerland ) being awesome, winning
against all teams, including SKW 2, with quite healthy margins. The same
applied to Swakop 1, who only struggled against Cohen 1 a bit. In the two
Semi-finals SKW 1 easily beat Swakop 2, and in the second Semi-final, SKW 2
surprised Swakop 1, and won with 5 points. The SKW 2 was playing with three
under 17 Youngsters, boosted by the two Veterans Michael Baas and Harald Fülle.
Therefore,
the final was a SKW affair, and SKW 1 made it quite clear from the beginning,
that there was no team on that day, able to stop them and won by 11 points.
In the
losers round, Cohen 1 managed to win the Plate against Swakop 2 b by 15 points.
In the be B
category, 6 teams participated, and after the prelim Aries, Cohen 4 and
SKW 4 emerged as the two Top teams, to play the final. The final was a very
intense affair, and after 2 x 15 minutes both teams were equal on points, and
so extra time of 2 x 5 minutes had to decide the winner, and here SKW proved,
that the pre- season build was on track, as their superior fitness proved to be
too much for the Cohen side, and eventually lost by 5 points.
The
standard of the tournament was unusually for the beginning of the season and
all clubs are really putting in a lot of effort and one can expect a very high
quality and intense season coming up.
Yours In Fistball
