Unbeaten NCS marching to fourth title

Namibia Correctional Service (NCS) continued their march to a fourth successive MTC Netball Premier League title with two more victories over the weekend.

On Saturday morning, they beat Afrocat Lions 54-42, and a few hours later beat their closest rivals, Mighty Gunners, 51-43.

That saw them remaining unbeaten after 20 matches, while they now have an unassailable 20-point lead over Gunners at the top of the log.

With only two league matches remaining, NCS cannot be caught any more, but since the league will be determined on a knockout basis on the final weekend of 4-6 September at the Dome at Swakopmund, NCS will have to put the champagne on ice for the time being.

NCS’ dominance is mainly due to the fact that they can offer their players employment, which leaves the other community-based teams at a big disadvantage, according to African Lions coach Dimitri Bittler.
