Several years ago, the highest standard of netball was played in the Divisions 1 & 2 .Last year that wasn't the case at all. Three teams playing some excellent netball were able to force a three-way playoff to determine an outright winner of the Division 3. That the playoffs weren't played meant that the winner was decided based on goal average.
Former Senior Knock-out champions Spooners Hill was declared the winner followed by Brydens and Pine Hill St.Barnabas. Spooners Hill won based on the hard work of some of the individuals and the will to succeed.
With the BNA using the promotion and demotion system, it means that both Spooners Hill and Brydens will be promoted to Division 2. What about PH? Will they be allowed to remain in the same division or will they be promoted as well?
Some will say that PH already have teams in higher divisions, but are we promoting clubs or teams?
With the impending amalgamation of teams in the highest divisions,we may see a better standard of netball played. One blogger welcomed the return of ace national shooter and arguably one of the best in the world Lydia Bishop to 'top flight' netball. So do I!
