In what was a repeat of the 2017 Beko Netball League final, the defending champions Central came up against our own Hellers Mainland side in the opening round of the 2018 season, at Te Rauparaha Arena on Sunday 13 May.
It was great to start the season off today, with an anticipated tough match against South. After a long and hard pre-season, the players were excited to display all their skills and learnings out on court.
Presenting with a new-look team in 2018, Central remain intent on preserving their successful strike rate when the third edition of the Beko Netball League gets under way this weekend.
