Action in the Khomas Netball League resumes tomorrow with a highly anticipated Super 10 division clash between Afrocats Lions and Go Monate Fella at the Wanderers Netball Courts in Windhoek. 

The match gets underway at 18h00, followed by a second fixture pitting NDF against Wanderers Netball Club. 

Afrocats coach Dimitri Bittler expressed confidence in his side’s readiness ahead of the weekend ties, saying they are determined to collect maximum points. 

“We take every match as it comes. We don’t want to put any pressure on ourselves, but I would say my players are ready and we are gunning for maximum points against them. We know it’s not going to be an easy tie, but we are up for the challenge,” he said. 

Bittler acknowledged the strength of their opponents but believes his squad has done the groundwork needed to match them. 

“Playing a team like Go Monate Fella is not a walk in the park, but I believe we have done all the preparation this week. They are a good side with experienced players. However, we have all our top players available for this weekend. I believe we are ready to take up the challenge,” he added.

At 12h30, table-toppers Golden Girls lock horns with Afrocats in what promises to be an intense battle before NUST A return to face United at 14h00.
