Eagles’ coach, Wandisa Madolo, said her team needed to stay humble and to continue to work hard if they wanted to qualify to play at provincial level.
“Of course, in the region, if the team is winning against Super Strikers and Inkwenkwezi. It is massive and it boosts the confidence of the team and the self-belief that we can make it all the way to the final,” Madolo told Komani-Karoo Express.
“But it is a process, we need to stay humble and try to win our next games because it is not going be easy.”
Netball South Africa, in partnership with Twizza, launched this new club tournament last year, hoping that it would provide an equal opportunity to netball players, coaches, umpires, and administrators, to display their abilities at a competitive level.
This will also open the door to unearth new talent and give netball enthusiasts, at local level, the opportunity to be selected for the SPAR National Championships, followed by the Telkom Netball League, and the SPAR Proteas.
