The courts on Taward Street in Oamaru were illuminated on April 28th and 29th, signalling the start of the 2023 netball season. The Twizel teams made a strong impression, displaying their prowess in the game.

Currently, we have 63 students attending netball every week in Oamaru. We have two teams of Year 3-4, two teams of Year 5-6, two teams of Year 7-8, plus two senior teams competing in the tournament.

The year 3-4 teams do not keep score as the emphasis is on learning and enjoying the game. The students reported having a great time during the games and are excited for the upcoming games.

The Twizel Storm team had a fantastic win, while Twizel Lightning came very close to securing the win. Twizel Cyclones played their hearts out and came close to victory. Twizel Hurricanes had a huge win with a score of 42-13, which means they will advance to the top grade of the year 7-6 competition.

Both senior teams on Saturday had convincing wins, and we wish the participants in the SAS Tournament all the best.
