Nunuheb: Desert Rollers will regain form in second division

Following its slow start in the Namport Omaheke Second Division League, the Desert Rollers Sports Club (SC) collected maximum points over the weekend for the first time this season. This is viewed as motivation by the club management.

In an interview with Nampa, club chairperson Ludwig ‘Crooks’ Nunuheb said the team’s poor preparations for the league, which kicked off last December, is a major reason.

He said the players and officials who were busy with their final examinations contributed to the poor start in the league.

“The Presidential and National Assembly elections have also affected our team’s preparations as most of our players went on recess. This  hampered our start to the league. Obviously, we are willing to overturn them into success and capture the league trophy,” said Nunuheb.

On what attributed the change in trajectory to the winning ways, the chairperson said that is due to the training preparations they have put in place.

“These include proper training drills, tactics and technique. We keep our players in the camp, and that is one of the contributing factors to players’ motivation. We also managed to register our full squad to the league as well,” he said.
