Matthew Nederlof is the current Namibian 50cc MX Champion, and at the age of 7 Years, the youngest sportsman (in any Sport Code) in Namibian history to be nominated for the "Namibian Junior Sportsman of the Year" award. He is also the only moto-cross rider to have reached the finals for this award.

Although he did not win the award, having to compete against sportsman of up to 20 years old, he caused a stir at the premier gala event and made sure that Moto Cross would get the attention it deserves.

Once more we there was a good Moto Cross event held in Swakopmund. With participants from South Africa, Botswana and Angola, this racing day even had an international touch. The two riders from Botswana were Ross Branch, who rode for the Sturm-Team in Germany this season, and Carr Lebatha, the "Black Pearl" in southern African MX-sport. To say it up front: Ross Branch rode like a world champion and won the FNB-Trophy with a maximum number of points!

First National Bank of Namibia (FNB) became the main sponsor of the coastal MX in Swakopmund. This sponsor fully reckognizes all the efforts put into this sport at all venues, be it Omaruru, Gobabis or Swakopmund. Well organised race-days and a marketing strategy second to none speak for themselves. Namibian Moto Crosser serve as rollmodel to many a sportcodes!

Tommy Gous reaffirmed his position as Namibia’s top motocross rider, when he won the Open Class, thereby beating one of Namibia’s finest riders, Ronnie Adams. The crowd at Gobabis was very pleased with the performance and ongoing dice between those two protagonists.

While the preparations for the 10th anniversary of the "Inter-Series" at the Gallina Moto Cross Park-Windhoek are in full swing, one more race for the Namibian Moto Cross Championships takes place on the 16th of September in Gobabis. The riders can test their bikes and demonstrate their physical fitness, before one meets again for another Chammpionship race on September 30 at Swakopmund.
