Team Lomaiviti has showcased its strength in the New World Suva Netball Association for 2024, successfully advancing all their teams to the semi-final round set for tomorrow. This achievement is particularly impressive given the fierce competition this year, which has seen a record total of 479 games played across nine categories involving 89 teams.
Games coordinator Gabriel Qoro commended the clubs for their hard work and commitment that has propelled them from the quarter-finals to the semi-finals. “Team Lomaiviti, one of the oldest and most established clubs in Suva, will compete in every grade – Angels, Roses, Princess, Development, Queens, Mixed, Major, Premier, and Super grades. This demonstrates the club’s exceptional depth across all levels of the sport,” said Qoro.
Qoro also noted other clubs that have successfully placed more than five teams in the semi-finals, including Tagimoucia Club, Ablaze Club, Rovers, Grasshoppers, Tiki Club, and the newcomers, Huva Stallions Netball Club.
The Suva Netball Association committee expressed gratitude to the parents, coaches, and managers of each club for their unwavering support throughout the season. They also extended their thanks to major sponsor New World IGA for their continued backing, which has been vital for the development and expansion of netball in Suva.
The semi-final matches will begin at 8 a.m. at the National Netball Centre in Suva.
