Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Richard Jakobus April, the Okahandja FC women\u2019s team head coach, has attributed his team\u2019s dismal performance to various factors, including inadequate training facilities.<\/p>\n

Despite currently occupying the bottom of the log standings with zero points after 10 matches in the FNB Women\u2019s Super League (WSL), April remains hopeful for a turnaround in fortunes next season.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview, April pointed out the challenges his team faces, such as the long distances travelled to away matches and the lack of suitable training facilities. He highlighted the strain on players caused by exhausting travel conditions and insufficient rest, which is exacerbated by uncomfortable transportation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur poor performance can be attributed to several factors, including the long distances we travel to our opponents\u2019 fields. The girls often arrive exhausted due to inadequate rest during travel. Additionally, our training grounds consist of gravel, hindering essential training exercises, especially for goalkeepers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the winless streak and the challenges faced, he expressed satisfaction with the team\u2019s improvement and optimism for the second leg of the season. He believes that addressing their shortcomings will lead to a significant transformation in the team\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe morale among the players is high, and I\u2019ve seen considerable improvement in their game. I firmly believe that the second leg will witness a turnaround in our results. Our first win is within reach, starting with our match against Ramblers. \u201cWe\u2019ve been diligently working on rectifying our weaknesses, and I\u2019m confident we\u2019ll emerge as a different team,\u201d affirmed a confident April.<\/p>\n

In league standings, Ongos Ladies maintain their lead with 28 points, followed by Khomas Nampol with 22 points and Girls and Goals with 21 points.<\/p>\n

At the bottom, Ramblers occupy the 10th position with six points, followed by NUST Babes in 11th place with three (3) points, and Okahandja at the bottom with zero (0) points
