The Gisborne Netball Centre has had a tremendous response to its proposed twilight league, which is set to start on October 26 at Victoria Domain, providing the Covid-19 alert level allows.

To date, 43 teams are entered for the six-week competition.

“We've been rapt to see the response to our twilight league and we have only a couple of spaces available in the 6.45pm round,” centre manager Allisa Hall said.

“The centre can run this league only if we are back to Level 1 by then.

“The numbers are too large otherwise.

“We are discussing options around this and will get updated information out regarding the league on Tuesday next week,” Hall said.

The league will be for mixed teams, with a maximum of three males a team allowed on court at any one time.
