Netball Fiji has spiced up the standard of the sport through the commencement of the Digicel Punjas 2020 Reset Netball Championship that will begin on Saturday.

The event has four teams that consist of the national training squad playing against each other over the next four Saturdays.

The teams are Digicel Flames captained by Alisi Naqiri, Punjas Stingrays led by Alisi Galo, Digicel Lightning captained by Nina Cirikisuva, and Punjas Thunderbirds led by Vaiti Waqatabu.

The main purpose of the tournament is to announce Netball Fiji’s 25-member Fiji Pearl training squad with the remaining players to be named in the Fiji A squad.

At the end of November, once the national coach is named, the squad will then regroup and gear up for the upcoming event.

The tournament starts on Saturday where Digicel Flames play Punjas Stingrays in the first match, and Digicel Lightning plays Punjas Thunderbirds in the second match at the netball centre.
