Netball winter league gets going

Friday 20 September 2024

Competition has begun in The Deloitte GNA Winter League with 33 teams competing across four divisions.

The Premier Division will again be contested between three clubs, fielding two teams each.

Divisions 1 and 2 have a mix of social and older youth teams, while Division 3 is split into developing younger players and youth taking part in their first league experience.

All teams will not only be looking to win their division titles but also get into the cup final playoffs and finals scheduled for 6 April.

Deloitte will continue to sponsor the competition and the newly appointed Director of Netball Sally Carns.

“I am really looking forward to joining the team as the new Director of Netball and can’t wait to get going with the players, coaches and volunteers. Netball is not just a sport; it's a vital part of our community, bringing people together, fostering teamwork and promoting a healthy lifestyle,” she said.

“Together, we'll work to enhance opportunities for everyone, from grassroots to advanced levels, ensuring that netball continues to thrive and inspire the next generation. The passion and dedication within this community are truly inspiring and I look forward to contributing to the growth and success of the sport.”

Martin Popplewell, Director at Deloitte, said: “We are really excited to be supporting the league again this season and we’re eagerly anticipating the start of what promises to be another competitive year.”
