Wanderers out of Gold Cup Competition

The Namibia Premier Rugby Club Wanderers lost by 27 points to 35 against Evergreen of South Africa in their fourth match of the Gold Cup on Saturday. Wanderers' dreams of reaching the semi-final of the Gold Cup competition ended on Saturday, after they lost by narrow margin scores. The game started on a slow pace due to windy weather, but it was the visitors who scores first to make things difficult for the Pioneerspark-based Wanderers. Wanderers needed to win this game, and they displayed good tactics indeed. However, luck was not on their side, as Evergreen also had a workable plan. The game was tough throughout, but the main action took place merely three minutes before the final blow, when Evergreen scored to book their spot for the semi-finals of the Gold Cup. The Gold Cup is a South African Rugby Union competition for non-university rugby clubs in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. Wanderers participated in the competition because they finished as runners-up during the 2015 Rugby season, which was won by the University of Namibia (UNAM) rugby team.
