WANDERERS’ men and women’s Premier League teams came out on top in two contrasting matches against Nust (Namibia University of Science and Technology) in the Bank Windhoek Field Hockey League on Saturday.
Wanderers’ women beat Nust 1-0 to move to the top of the Women’s Premier League log, while Wanderers’ men thrashed Nust 12-0 to record their first victory of the season.
In the women’s match, Juanne Engelbrecht scored the only goal of the match after 10 minutes of the first half.
Nust provided stiff resistance but could not find the net and Wanderers held on for the victory.
The victory put Wanderers on top of the log on seven points after three matches – just ahead of Unam (also on seven) on goal difference.
Saints are third on four points, while DTS, Nust and Windhoek Old Boys (WOB) must all still open their account.
Wanderers’ men meanwhile thrashed Nust 12-0 after leading 4-0 at halftime.
Stefan du Preez opened the scoring after only two minutes, and by halftime Wanderers were already leading 4-0.
The one-way traffic continued after the break and had it not been for some fine saves by Nust goalkeeper Trevor Norich, the score could have been much higher.
Jesko Hoffmann was Wanderers’ top scorer with four goals, while Stefan du Preez and Jan Izak de Villiers scored a brace each.
Their other goals were scored by Tiaan Muller, Hendrik van der Walt, Tiaan Erlank and Ruan Oosthuizen.
It was Wanderers’ first win of the season which sees them moving up to fourth position on the log on four points.
DTS lead the log on 12 points from three matches, while Unam are second on five and WOB third on four points. Saints (one) and Nust (zero) bring up the rear.
