ThruPass to hold year-end tournament SPORT REPORTERFollowing the successful conclusion of the ThruPass football league activities, attention now turns to a top-12 competition hosted by the same organisers.
The ThruPass top 12 competition, which will take place at the Ramblers field over the weekend, has seen the top four finishers in the league drawn to start playing in the quarterfinals while the other sides will vie in a preliminary round.
That means league winners Aweh Aweh, Harambee (formerly known as Madibaz), Revolution and Top Jitas will only start competing on Saturday while the rest of the teams start on Friday evening.
This is the third edition of the year-ending tournament for the social league.
Dahlia was the inaugural winners after beating Aweh Aweh by 3-2 on penalties following a 2-2 draw.
The second edition was won by Harambee who saw off Aweh Aweh 4-2 on penalties following a goalless stalemate in the final.
Winners will walk away with N$6000 while the losing finalists will receive N$3 000. The losing semi-finalists each get N$1 000.
A great atmosphere is expected at the venue as patrons will be selling refreshments.
Entrance to the day is free of charge.
A number of former Namibia Premier League and national team players like Costa Khaiseb, Quinton Jacobs, Dicky Akweenye, Donnelly Nell, Michael Pienaar, John Cloete, Salomo Hei, Page Ananias and Arnold Subeb are expected to turn out for various teams during the tournament.
