Over the last 5 days a little piece of Southland Sporting History, sending the very first Southland Mixed Team to the New Zealand Mens and Mixed Netball Association Mixed Netball Nationals.
After a slower start on day one (that we are putting down to Jet Lag), the team won 7 games on the trot to make it to Semi Finals, where we finished a very respectable 4th over all in B grade. We could not be prouder of this group of sportsmen and women in the way that they represented our province.
