However,  only two games were played after TASC, BOASA and Serowe Arsenal failed to turn up for the league launch at the Botswana Ash (Botash) Mine courts during the  launch of the third and last edition of the BONA Spar Good For You Netball League sponsored to a tune of P400,000 per season for three years.

Some of the thrillers expected included Flamingo Netball Club and TASC Netball Club, Morupule Wanderers vs TASC and BOASA. Miscellaneous Netball Club beat Flamingo 46-43 in a closely contested match before the Sowa girls discovered their winning ways in the second game against Botswana Railways (Botsrail) to emerge 49-30 winners. BONA zonal leadership had taken a deliberate decision to take the games to Sowa in its endeavor to spread the game of netball to all corners of the country and give their sponsor, Spar, the much-needed mileage.

BONA Northern Zone League Committee chairperson Kene Tjikwakwa said the glitches were caused by teams which claimed that they did not get fixtures.Tjikwakwa promised to work on the problem in order to avoid a similar disappointment to happen again in the future.
