Ramblers have entered a young side "Smarties" consisting of players between the ages of 8-10 years in the beginners Hockey league this year. They have lost their first games against much older opponents from Windhoek Old Boys and Academia 0:2 and 0:1 respectively, but the foundation is being laid for a bright future of Ramblers ladies hockey! The players in action are: Katja Smith (10) - daughter of Kenny & Verena Smith, who has just made a comeback for Ramblers Hockey Tatjana Coetzee(8) - daughter of former soccer star Stakes Coetzee, Britta Haensel(8) - daughter of current Ramblers hockey player Anke Haensel, granddaughter of "Ertjies", Mia Ballotti(8) - daughter of Ramblers chairman Luigi Ballotti, Steffi Neustädt(10) - niece of current Ramb-lers hockey player Dagmar Räntsch, Jannike Brink(8) - a newcomer.This team is coached by none other than Silke Pennefather ably assisted by Verena Smith and Michaela Dedig. Congratulations to all of you on a fine effort!
