MONDAY night mixed netball at Pyramid Hill was one of the many sporting victims of the COVID pandemic, but it is set to return in the next couple of weeks.
Prospective players have been asked to name their first and second preferences from Sunday, Monday and Tuesday night options.
Organiser Leanne Gibson already has sufficient players to fill four teams but aims to have a six-team competition.
The plan is for two back-to-back eight- or nine-week seasons – with one important caveat.
The seasons need to be done and dusted before harvest time in November strips the competition of players.
Netballers from as far afield as Macorna and Cohuna were part of the thriving competition before COVID struck, and they are expected to be part of the new league.
“It’s very early days, but we really want to get it started.” Gibson said.
“I’d like it to start the week after next if I can get it going. It’s a fun competition, and we keep it light and safe.”
At least another 14 players were needed to complete the teams when the London Herald went to press.
Anyone interested in joining the Pyramid Hill Monday Night Netball can contact Leanne on the group’s Facebook page.
