Here's some info for Hawke's Bay sports trivia buffs to store for future reference.
Toki Toa and All In were the winning teams when Hawke's Bay Netball's inaugural men's league first round matches were played at Taradale's Pettigrew-Green Arena on Sunday.
"It was fantastic to finally see this competition get off the ground, after the increased profile of men's netball nationally through the Cadbury Netball Series earlier in the year, it was our time to put a peg in the sand and go for it," Hawke's Bay Netball general manager Tina Arlidge said.
"Although it would have been great to have a couple more teams, four teams enabled the competition to go ahead and we are looking forward to growing it from here."
Arlidge congratulated the Toki Incorporated and All In netball clubs for getting in behind this new competition and providing opportunities for males under their club entity.
