Windhoek Optics Ramblers are through to the semi-final of the Humphries Security Cup!!

Ramblers drew their first game against Chief Santos 1:1 and lost the subsequent penalty shoot out 4:5. Michael Pienaar had scored for Ramblers during normal time.

Windhoek Optics Ramblers, however, advanced to the second round as best loser and had to face Chief Santos again on Sunday. This time our lads made no mistake and won the game 3:2 thanks to goals from John Samson, Bradley Wermann and Duncan Subeb.

The semi final will be against Orlando Pirates this Friday evening at 19H00 at the Independence stadium. In the other game Blue Waters will play Eleven Arrows at 21H00.

The finals will be played on Saturday afternoon. Good luck to coaches Tollie van Wyk and Dave Fransman and the entire team!!
