FNB Wanderers

“FNB Wanderers are through to the JSB Gold Cup final after beating FNB Unam 34-31 in a cliff-hanger at the Unam Stadium on Saturday.”

“FNB Unam and FNB Wanderers will battle it out for a place in the JSB Rugby Gold Cup final at Unam Stadium tomorrow afternoon.”

“Although both teams have a match in hand on the rest of the pack, they have now slipped down the log, with Wanderers fourth and United fifth, and victory will be crucial for either side if they hope to reach the final.”

“Kudus started their JSB Gold Cup campaign with a comprehensive 43-14 victory against Trustco United last weekend to go to the top of the log, while Wanderers are just behind them in second place after beating FNB Rehoboth 43-37.”

“Wanderers, however, have a lot of quality and depth and won the JSB Club Championships with a second-string side after beating FNB Grootfontein 8-3 in the final.”

“The defending champions Wanderers enter the match as the favourites, as it is their fourth consecutive final, while it's the first time since Namibia's independence that Kudus have reached the final.”

“Wanderers ground out a 39-14 win against arch-rivals Trustco United, while Kudus had to withstand a strong forward onslaught to beat FNB Grootfontein 42-37.”

“Wanderers will start as favourites against United, after remaining unbeaten throughout the season and finishing well clear of the chasing pack at the top of the log.”

“Log leaders FNB Wanderers (39 points) and second-placed FNB Kudus (29) have already booked their semi-final spots, but FNB Unam (21), FNB Grootfontein (21) and Trustco United (20) are battling it out for the last two spots, while even FNB Western Suburbs and FNB Rehoboth, who are both on 17 points, still have a remote chance of making the semis.”

“Wanderers are still unbeaten all season and should start as strong favourites on their home turf against an inconsistent Suburbs side whose performances varied from a 24-22 win against Unam to a 50-15 defeat to Kudus.”
