But I think it will be important for us to collect maximum points against Rehoboth,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>The gaffer said it was a great learning curve this season, and it helped a lot in the development of the team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite our position in the league this season, I would say the season was very instrumental in the development process of our players, as many players got exposure. It is only a matter of time before we will have the best team in the league,\u201d he enthused.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, fifth-placed Rehoboth\u2019s Gerald Loubser said it is always tough playing against their rivals, and they do not underestimate them, despite their league position. However, as a team, they remain ready to take them on in an exciting derby.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t underestimate them. They are a good team, and I believe we will have an equally tough game. For us, we are ready and prepared to face them in this encounter,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, Kudus will be hoping to bounce back from last weekend\u2019s defeat when they lock horns against Western Suburbs tomorrow, while defending champions Unam will welcome Grootfontein in another potentially exciting fixture.<\/p>\n<p>Trustco United will face Wanderers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
