Netball season kicks off
The Khomas netball season kicks off today and tomorrow, with close to 30 teams competing for top honours.
The season-opening tournament will take place at the Patrick Iiyambo Police Training College netball courts in Kleine Kuppe, Windhoek.
The tournament is split into three divisions, namely the premier league, first division and second division. It will be played using a round-robin format, and the two top teams in each group will qualify to play in the semi-finals. The winners of those semi-final encounters will compete in the respective finals.
“The tournament provides a platform to teams to try out new players and combinations in anticipation of what the Khomas Netball Region executive committee hopes to be a very exciting and competitive netball season,” said Isack Hamata the newly elected spokesperson for Khomas Netball.
The tournament is made possible in part by the assistance of First National Bank (FNB) of Namibia, which sponsored the trophies and medals for all three divisions for the second successive year.
In addition, an umpire workshop will take place on the sidelines of the season-opening tournament, facilitated by Netball Namibia.
The workshop is mandatory for all clubs to attend, as it will serve to improve the quality of umpiring and ultimately the quality of netball in the region throughout the 2019 season and beyond.
The teams which will take part are: Premier league - Afrocats Lions, Khomas Nampol, NCS, Nust, Tigers P1, Tigers P2, Unam Jaguars and Trustco United.
First division - Afrocats Lions 1A, Afrocats Lions 1B, Afrocats Lions 1C, Black Africa, Khomas Nampol, Nust, Unam Jaguars, Trustco United and Wanderers 1A.
Second division - Afrocats Lions 2A, Afrocats Lions 2B, Black Africa, Gomonate Fela, Lingua College, NDF 2A, NDF 2B, Rehoboth, Tura Magic, Trustco United and Unam Jaguars.
