Spring Night Competitions
Forbes netball is back in full swing for the popular Spring Night Competitions starting on 7th September. The committee will also be organising a 17 and under mixed and ladies competition, and a men’s grade if there is enough interest.
All teams are asked to enter as soon as possible, as there are only two grading dates before the competitions starts. Email the secretary on secretary.forbesnetball@gmail.com if you’re looking for a team or players.
Players already registered with NNSW only need to pay the FNA competition fee of $50 per player per team. New 2022 registrations can take advantage of the reduced NNSW registrations from 1st September, plus the FNA competition fees. All registrations are done online, including the FNA competition fees. Like our Facebook posts, and get all the information as soon as it breaks, on the Forbes Netball Facebook page.
