WITH government school holidays coming up, the MTC Hopsol Youth Soccer League will now go into a month-long break following completion of the 11th game week over the weekend.
The league, which caters for junior players from under 9 to under 19 level, has been well-attended, with 29 matches taking place over the weekend, while only five were postponed.
Matches were hosted at five venues in Windhoek, namely Ramblers, Telecom, SKW, Trustco United and the league’s new home base at Jan Mohr Field.
The u19 league is developing into an exciting title race with up to six teams all still in the running.
Kaizen Football Academy replaced Ramblers at the top of the log after a 3-1 victory against Kasaona Football Academy on Saturday.
Goals by Uatona Watanawa and Romeo Amon gave them a 2-0 half time lead, while a fine back header by Kyle Solomon put them 3-0 ahead early in the second half.
Kasaona FA came back strongly and opened their account through Muhupua Hoveka, but KFA’s defence stood firm as they held on for the victory.
In other results, Athletic Club Football Academy (ACFA) beat Okahandja Football Academy 2-0, Swallows beat Fortis Football Academy 1-0; and V Power picked up two victories, beating Greefies 2-0 and Okahandja 2-1.
