The Netball Waikato Bay of Plenty zone and netball centresare hard at work behind the scenes to make sure our game is well looked after and that we are providing quality events and opportunities for everyone taking part.
Our Waikato Bay of Plenty Beko team play their third home game of the national league on June 10 at Rotorua Girls' High School. This game starts at 12.10pm and there is a gold coin donation to attend. Be sure to come along and watch our future Magic players take on Mainland.
