“Netball is used for building and forging strong relationships through sports. We train every Tuesday and Thursday at Greenside High School and are very lucky to have sponsors who provided prizes for the tournament.”

The next tournament will be hosted October 28, at Greenside High School.

The Junior Bunnies coach Phakama Sigidi said, “Our performance was not consistent but I am happy about our win. We need to improve when it comes to the ball position for our next game.”
