NETBALL lovers have a feast to look forward in the New Year, when the world’s top netball teams arrive in Durban late January for the next phase of the Quad Series, involving Australia, New Zealand, England and South Africa. The four countries had joined forces in a ground-breaking partnership to be known as the Quad Series nicknamed SANZEA.
The aim of the partnership is to provide the four teams with the opportunity to play high-level international netball outside of the regular World Cup and Commonwealth Games competitions.
Three matches will be played at Durban’s International Convention Centre on Saturday 28 January and Tuesday 31 January.
On Saturday, the opening match is between the Australian Diamonds and the New Zealand Silver Ferns. This will be followed by the match between the SPAR Proteas and the English Roses.
The final match, on January 31, is between the Proteas and the Diamonds.
Tickets for the matches are available from Computicket, with prices ranging from R20 to R200 for VIP seating. Tournament combination packages are available at very competitive prices.
Australia are the world and Commonwealth Games champions, and New Zealand and England are ranked second and third respectively. The Proteas are ranked fifth in the world.
