Sometimes it is not just the players that take centre stage in our review of the sport, it is you and your participation, contribution and enthusiasm for netball and sports for women that keeps the spirit alive. It is images like these that tell the bigger picture for the sport and for the hope that it continues to be inclusive and expansive.
Over 1,000 women brave the glaring midday heat to play each Sunday in the PCNC competition, a competition of social netball that this year amassed over 80 teams from some 60 odd companies in the nations capital. Next season appears set to be even bigger, a testament to the organisation and commitment of office bearers and working committee members. The numbers can really be astounding if you take into consideration the supporters, enthusiasts, company officials, friends and family that mill through the courts over the course of the afternoon.
It is this atmosphere of kinship and good sportsmanship that makes this form of netball so enjoyable.
Supporters, fans, spectators and family make up the final link in the chain-mail that is the suit of success for this competition. It is even bigger than the normal town competition.
The photo's you see from last week are not simply of women in small groups but of people from all walks of life at an event that lasts an entire Sunday afternoon each week and brings together an amazing array of reveler's and enthusiasts alike.
You never know, perhaps you too may be the subject of our happy snappers each week. Enjoy yourselves and thank you to you all for helping to make netball a sporting testament for PNG.
Catch you soon somewhere "near the the hoop". Nice sunnies Lynette.........
