Twilight netball launched

The Warkworth Showgrounds will finally welcome netball following the installation of its LED lighting system.

The Warkworth Netball Club will introduce the sport with its twilight netball competition on October 18.

Club president Pania Beazley-Searle says a number of people have already signed up to play.

“It’s been something we’ve wanted to run for a while and with the recent demand, and upgraded facilities, it gave us an opportunity to do so,” Pania says.

The competition will run over nine weeks, on Wednesday nights, from 6pm to 8pm.

“We would like to see 12 teams competing and then grow it next year to include juniors as well.”

The competition is for adults, both men and women, and will be played using different rules, including five players and two points for a goal scored from outside the shooting circle.

Pania says the club would like to have more netball played at the showgrounds in future seasons.
