PNG wins the bid to host 2015 Pacific Games

It's official folks, PNG and Port Moresby has won the bid to host the Pacific Games in 2015.

This is particularly important to Netball because as a major team event in the games, it means that much of the support facilities required for the sport will now be built by the government over the next several years.

It also means the focus the game needed for so long can be channeled to areas such as junior development, coaching and umpiring resources to give us the best possible chance for a crack at the gold medal.

Well done to Governor Powes Parkop, Dame Carol Kidu and the PNG bid team,
