Netball lovers have a feast to look forward in the New Year, when the world’s top netball teams arrive in Durban late January for the next phase of the Quad Series, involving Australia, New Zealand, England and South Africa.
It was announced earlier this year that the four countries had joined forces in a ground-breaking partnership to be known as the Quad Series nicknamed SANZEA. The aim of the partnership is to provide the four teams with the opportunity to play high-level international netball outside of the regular World Cup and Commonwealth Games competitions.
The inaugural event was played in New Zealand and Australia, with the competition moving to South Africa and England early in 2017.
Three matches will be played at Durban’s International Convention Centre on Saturday 28 January and Tuesday 31 January.
On Saturday, the opening match is between the Australian Diamonds and the New Zealand Silver Ferns – a mouth-watering encounter between the two giants of world netball. This will be followed by the match between the SPAR Proteas and the English Roses in a much anticipated battle of the flowers.
The final match, on January 31, is between the Proteas and the Diamonds.
