Gisborne’s Victoria Domain was packed for the opening two rounds of netball grading on Saturday.
Double wins to Girls’ High Senior A, draws for YMP and Waikohu, and losses for Whangara’s teams were the main features of the first day.
The courts featured games for senior, secondary, intermediate and Year5 and 6 grade teams.
The teams played a shortened game format for grading.
“It was fantastic to see our netball whānau back at Victoria Domain enjoying the new courts,” netball commentator Sherrill Beale said.

In the premier grade, Gisborne Girls’ High School Senior A defeated Old Girls Whangara 18-4, and beat Whangara Old Girls in a tight contest 9-8.
Claydens Waikohu 1 had a 19-9 win against Old Girls Whangara, then drew with Turanga FM YMP 14-14.
The primary grades were all action too, and in this match all eyes (and arms) were on the ball in a game between Ngatapa and Wainui. Photo / Murray Robertson
