Out of the 22 Hillfox Hornet teams that took part in the Gauteng Super League Indoor Netball championships, 19 managed to reach the finals and walk away with either a medal or a trophy.

Hillfox Action Sports arena, based at Hillfox Value Centre, took part in the championships which pitted them against the very best of Gauteng’s indoor netball teams. Hillfox didn’t go unprepared, as they had been training hard in preparation for taking on the best that the rest of Gauteng had to offer.

Hillfox has always been a strong netball arena, especially on the junior front as they have hundreds of prospective young netball stars playing in the arena’s junior leagues, week-in and week-out. This year, Hillfox managed to put together an impressive 22 teams from as young as U/11 right up to mixed senior teams, with 86 per cent of their sides managing to reach the finals.

That 86 per cent equates to 19 teams who performed outstandingly, with six teams achieving gold, six achieving silver, five achieving bronze, and two senior teams earning plate trophies. In addition to the 19 trophies which they received, Hillfox was also handed two of the three arena awards, receiving the Best Junior Arena and Best Overall Arena awards and just missing out on the Best Senior Arena.
