Inaugural Motor Centre netball tourney kicks-off

Motor Centre Group who previously sponsored the netball league has availed P100,000 to finance the two-day event. The tournament is meant to be held annually. This year's edition will be used to select a 12- member national team to represent Botswana at the World Cup qualifiers in September.

BONA president, Tebogo Lebotse, said the tournament is long overdue as one of the association's long-term plans has been to have a competition that can be used to select a national squad. She said the tournament will give national team players intensive practice as what they get from the league is not enough.
