Rustenburg- MEC for Education and Sports Development Wendy Matsemela is excited about the second edition of the 2015 Brutal Fruit Netball Premier League and believes that the NW Flame Netball team will do the province proud.  “We are sharing the joy with you as you will be representing the province, we wish you all the best” said MEC.  “It is our wish as Education and Sports Development to see each and every sporting code being supported accordingly… and as you go out there remember that you are walking in the footprints of the many sports men and women who have made us proud in the province”, added Matsemela.  The Handover of the provincial sporting colours was held at Holy Family Combined School, Mogwase (Rustenburg) yesterday.

The Brutal Fruit Netball Premier League is the sport’s flagship competition in South Africa and underlines the phenomenal growth of the code in recent years. Most importantly the second edition of the tournament indicates another step towards the goal of a fully-professional women’s sport.

The competition once again pits 10 provincial-based teams from all nine provinces against each other over five weeks of intense competition. For the second year in succession the event will take place at the University of Pretoria’s impressive sports centre from where Super Sport will broadcast 37 of the 48 matches live from the venue.
