Our Rustenburg netball teams laced up their takkies and took to their home courts, ready to face their first challenge of the league against Westerford High School. With the sun shining down and the enthusiastic support of fellow peers and proud parents filling the air, there was a palpable buzz of excitement. After a long period of preparation, our players were clearly eager to finally get their league campaign underway, knowing that every match is a valuable opportunity.
What a fantastic way to kick off the season, going head-to-head against the Westerford contingent! It was a brilliant chance for our teams to test their mettle and build some early confidence. Here’s a breakdown of how each team performed on the day:
