Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Despite the fear of exhaustion due to congested fixtures, Afrocats Lions mentor Dimitri Bittler is adamant they can cope with the pressure of playing three matches in one weekend when action continues in the MTC Namibia Netball Premier League (NNPL).<\/p>\n

They are scheduled to face Namibia Correctional Service (NSC) and Tigers back-to-back tomorrow at the Patrick Iyambo College courts in the capital, before confronting newly promoted Wanderers in Sunday\u2019s action.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is going to be a very tough weekend for us, as we will be playing three games against three very strong teams. We are already feeling the pressure as fatigue could take a toll on our players. I don\u2019t know how we will manage because we usually have like an hour to rest before returning to the courts, but we will find a way around this dilemma and emerge stronger and victorious,\u201d said a confident Bittler.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe won\u2019t give up. We will relish the challenge and take on every team with the same determination and focus. We will be going for maximum points in every single match we play. I believe we have players that are capable and can lead the team to the wins we need,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In tomorrow\u2019s other fixtures in Windhoek, Tigers will face Wanderers while in Otjiwarongo, Mighty Gunners will take on Otjozondjupa Nampol in another exciting match.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in Walvis Bay, there will be a coastal derby between the Namibian Navy and Eleven Arrows. On Sunday, NCS will take on Tigers.<\/p>\n
