Dragon City take lead in Swakopmund Women's League Dragon City took an early six-point lead at the top of the Swakopmund Women''s Soccer League (SWSL) table at the weekend.The amateur women''s football league, now in its second season, was established in June 2015 with eight football teams based in Swakopmund.
Only six teams are competing in the league after three failed to register for the new season.
Kavetu Football Club (FC) from Arandis joined the league this season and will compete against Swakopmund Sport Development Club (SSDC), Namib Daughters, Dream Team, African Queens and Dragon City.
Namib Daughters were crowned champions last year.
On Saturday, Dragon City, who started the season with a win against Namib Daughters, continue their winning streak as they beat Dream Team 3-1 and then finished off their Saturday with a 5-2 thrashing of SSDC.
African Queens and Namib Daughters did not honour their fixtures and forfeited their results.
League Chairperson Wilson Nguvauva told Nampa on Sunday he was not happy that teams did not honour their fixtures and called on them to improve their communication in future.
“We know we have teams that have school-going children and we are now busy with grade 10 exams, and it is important that the coaches inform us in advance if they are not honouring their fixtures.
“It is unacceptable to see teams not pitching on match day while we all know fixtures are published very early,” he said.
African Queens coach Jackson Muhaindjumba said they missed the game because of circumstances beyond their control, but they will fight for every point when they step onto the field again.
“Our team is mostly made up of grade 10 learners who are at the moment busy studying for their exams, and when they are done we will be able to play again and fight for every point so we can end the season top of the table,” he said.
Dragon City lead the log on nine points, while African Queens and Dream Team are level on three points each.
Kavetu did not have a game at the weekend.
