The 2017 Netball World Youth Cup (NWYC) entered a critical last 50 days yesterday, with the Botswana Netball Association (BONA) president, Tebogo Lebotse-Sebego outlining trailing matters.

Yesterday, the country marked 50 days before the start of the NWYC on July 8 but there is still work ahead before the organisers can safely welcome the competing teams.

She wants more hype created around the games and a trophy tour “so that the games are not just about Gaborone.”
