Prisons netball side in financial doldrums

FRANCISTOWN: The Selebi-Phikwe Prisons Netball Club is facing a bleak future after their sole financier withdrew its sponsorship.

The club has failed to honour fixtures due to lack of transport because it no longer receives financial and material backing from the Department of Prisons. The captain, Keneilwe Makwati said they failed to honour a weekend fixture against TASC in Francistown because they failed to raise a team and secure transport.

"We played only one game over the weekend and failed to play our game against TASC because we are encountering problems. The Prisons Department stopped sponsoring the club at the beginning of the season, which contributed to our transport woes. We contribute money from our pockets. This is a big challenge to the team," she said.
