The curtain will fall on an entertaining 2023/2024 season in the Oshana Regional Second Division Football League this weekend, with two teams vying for the trophy on the final day.
The final league battle is now between Poison Arrows and Foxy Seniors to see who will be named champions in Oshakati on Sunday.
Poison Arrows enter the final day at the top of the log table with 44 points. They need five more points to secure the league title.
Despite leading the league by two points, Arrows cannot afford any blunders in their final two games.
Foxy Seniors, just two points behind them at 42 points, are also aiming for victory.
Any blunders by Arrows could see the Seniors crowned champions and promoted to the Northwest Stream First Division League next season.
Foxy Seniors need only two victories to continue their strong season and boost their promotion and championship prospects.
Poison Arrows go into the weekend’s matches with the title on the line, hosting Onelago United on Saturday at UNAM Stadium in a mu
st-win game, before facing Brave Lions in the final league match on Sunday at Othingo Sports Field.
Both of their opponents have nothing to fight for as they sit in comfortable spots, free of relegation concerns and out of the league title competition.
Foxy Seniors will face a similarly strong opponent when they face Ongwediva Fish Consumption in the final on Sunday, but first they must deal with the tenacious African United on Saturday.
Other Saturday matchups include a tense relegation duel involving two sides fighting for survival, with relegation-threatened Golden Stars set to face Vietnam Rangers on Saturday in a must-win match to avoid the axe. Oshakati United will need six points this weekend when they face Brave Lions and Young Braves on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
Pescanova were relegated two weeks ago, and their weekend matches against Ongwediva Fish Consumption on Saturday and Vietnam Rangers on Sunday will be for fun.
Golden Stars find themselves at the bottom of the table in position
10 with 21 points, followed by Oshakati (11) with 18 points and axed Pescanova with four points.
