Entries close on Friday for the annual pre-season netball hit-out, the Kathleen Henderson Memorial, and this year for the first time a men’s grade could be run.
“Fingers crossed we get enough entries to make it happen,” Gisborne Netball Centre manager Allisa Hall said.
“Last year we did a surveyon interest in men’s netball and people really wanted to see it happen. We feel this is a good opportunity to test the waters and see just how strong the interest is.”
So far only one men’s entry has been received.
The tournament will be held at Victoria Domain on March 16. Last year it drew close to 30 teams.
