Kurangaituku Netball Tournament
Hundreds of netball players will hit the courts in Rotorua this weekend, as one of the country's longest-running tournaments gets underway.
The Kurangaituku Netball Tournament, which runs over the next three weekends at the Westbrook Netball Complex, begins today, with more than 200 netball teams and players from across New Zealand and Australia taking part.
It's the 81st tournament and over the years it has attracted thousands of players and spectators and gained a reputation as one of the most thrilling tournaments in the country.
With a staggering 650 netball games played each weekend of the tournament, it wouldn't be short of action, organiser Mary Thompson said.
