WINDHOEK - The annual Retirement Fund Solutions-sponsored youth soccer tournament in conjunction with Cymot Sport Klub Windhoek was held at the SKW sports fields in Olympia last weekend.
Despite the youngsters producing great football belying their young age - the tournament was marred by ill discipline amongst the team's coaches and heavily intoxicated spectators who constantly disrupted the matches with their usage of vulgar language. The highly charged Under-13 match between Otjiwarongo FC and Ramblers left a bitter taste in the mouths of many after the Ramblers coach was summarily dismissed from the premises after he got involved in a fist- fight with the referee, while a portion of Ramblers supportes verbally abused the opposing players obviously in their drunken stupor. Veteran referee Simon Areseb and his team did a superb job in applying the FIFA rules while the match commissioners were spot on with the match statistics - ranging from goals scored and conceded as well as recording the number of cautions accumulated during the three-day tournament. A record number of 47 yellow and 15 red cards dominated proceedings especially in the U11 and U17 age groups. On a positive note, the games in the girls division were something out of the ordinary with good spirit. The fairest competitive game however was played during the U17 Final - SFC, under the guidance of Tom Zwar and Georg Engelbauer against SKW, coached by Lucky Kakuva and Roland Zirzow. The match produced a clean sheet with no single caution before the visitors triumphed after keeping their nerves in the dreaded penalty shootout. Apart from Swakopmund FC, SKW was the most consistent football academy in taking runne- up spot in almost all age groups, except the U7 and U15, where they achieved third place. Here are the full results in the various age groups. U7 - SFC (Swakopmund FC) U9 - SFC U11 - Otjiwarongo U13 - Ramblers U15 - KFA (Khomasdal Football Academy) U17 - SFC U15 - Girls - SFC Back to Top |
