Ghana 2 drew Nigeria 2
South Africa 12 defeated Namibia 0
South Africa warmed up for the final of the men's Africa Cup of Nations with a 12-0 thrashing of Namibia in their last preliminary match in Pretoria.
The match was little more than a training run for South Africa as they piled on four goals in the opening 15 minutes. The scoring rate continued for the remainder of the half and South Africa went in to the break leading 7-0.
Five more goals in the second half completed the scoreline as South Africa looked ahead to a clash with Egypt to determine the African Continental Federation's representative in the 2006 BDO Hockey World Cup in Monchengladbach, Germany. The loser of the match will still have a second chance in the World Cup Qualifier in China early next year.
In the day's other match, Ghana drew with Namibia 2-2 in a prelude to their third place playoff on Saturday.
