This weekend the ladies take on DTS while the men take on Unam in league action.

Ramblers beat DTS 3:1 in a league matchRamblers played the first half with nine players only and at half time the score was still a commendable 0:0 under the circumstances. In the second half Richard Wahl joined in and Ramblers played with ten men. DTS went into the lead through a penalty by Pauli Witt. But Ramblers fought courageously and it was Mario Reiter who equalised with a well taken penalty.

A DTS player received the red card and with equal numbers on both sides Ramblers now completely dominated the game. Fine combinational football resulted in further goals by Raymond Botes and Richard Wahl. Well done guys, this was a super team effort!!

In the other league game SKW beat Epukiro 1:0. SKW are the logleaders with Ramblers in second position. The next league action is on 21 September at the SKW field.

Lutz Hecht was not at Ramblers last Friday night when his number was drawn. Accordingly, the jackpot increases to N$ 300 this Friday.

Please diarise the 23 September when the first big VIP draw of the new season will take place.

The big Ramblers dinner and dance party will take place on Saturday, 5 November at Heja Lodge and is surely not to be missed. Tickets are N$ 300 per couple and are available from Silke Pennefather at Airite Canopies (Tel 228348). This event will be the highlight of the 60th anniversary celebrations.
