Netball Namibia President Rebecca //Goagoses told NBC Sport this week that they used the just-concluded Namibian Newspaper Cup to scout players for the under-19 and 20 national squads. 

The Namibian Newspaper Cup, which kicked off on the 7th of April, provided Netball Namibia with a valuable opportunity to scout players.

Last year, the under 20 Netball team participated in the Region 5 Youth Games, which were hosted in Malawi, where the Baby Desert Jewels unfortunately lost most of their games.

The Kavango West football and netball teams were treated to a heroes welcome at Nkurenkuru after exploits at The Namibian Newspaper cup at Otjiwarongo. Chris Kupulo this report.

Enthusiastic Kavango West residents lineup outside Nkurenkuru early morning to receive the history makers. 

The football trophy, the first for the region, was paraded on the street of the regional capital with songs and dance. 

The soccer team, against all odds, overcame the hosts Otjizondjupa Region to lift the trophy.
