Richland Park netball competition gets going

The 2020 edition of the Valley Sports Committee Richland Park netball competition opened on Sunday at the Richland Park Government School hard court.

A formal opening ceremony, which commenced at 3 p.m., and had a march-past of competing teams, as well as remarks from organisers, netball and government officials. This will precede the on-court action.

Planned as a warm-up for teams, was a Ball-O-Rama among the teams present.

When the 2019 competition was convened, the seasoned team of players, High Park last year, had a hard fought 54-53 win over Teachers Co-operative Credit Union Star Girls in the final.

High Park collected the winner’s purse of $1,500 and Star Girls, the runner-up, $1,000.

Nine teams were part of last year’s competition.
