The first in a series of community netball-ramas organized by the SLNNA took place in Anse la Raye on Sunday 27th February 2008. Sunday’s event hosted by Anse la Raye All Stars was well-organized although the overall participation of some of the affiliates was not what was expected.
A total of four clubs took part, namely Avengers, Shamrock One and Two, Olabisi and All Stars Juniors. According to the Technical Director of the SLNNA Caron Tobiere residents of Anse La Raye and its environs were treated to four hours of exciting non stop netball skills at its highest as the ladies displayed their talent.
At the end, Shamrock eventually walked away with the first place prize monies with the ever improving Avengers coming in second. The day’s event was sponsored by Branford Shipping & Brokerage.
The second in the series of netball-ramas is scheduled for Sunday 24th February 2008 at the VMPSC and the ladies in Green and Black of Shamrock Sports Club will be hosts. Tobiere said, “ It is hoped that other clubs hosting netball-ramas 2008 will seek to emulate the precedent set by All Stars.”

One notable absentee at Sunday’s event was national Helen of the West and OECS Champions Digicel Elite Strikers.
