The schools nationwide that will compete at the event will include Asian International School, Colombo International School (Colombo), Colombo International School (Kandy), Gateway College (Colombo), Gateway College (Kandy), Lyceum International School (Panadura), Lyceum International School (Wattala), British School, Royal Institute, Lyceum International School (Ratnapura), OKI international and the host school, Ilma International Girls’ School. Gateway College, Colombo will defend their title that they won last year after a gripping final against Ilma International Girls’ School. The draw for the tournament took place on January 9 in the presence of the sports officials of the participating schools at the IIGS auditorium.
Undoubtedly, the event will be an opportunity for the players of all schools to showcase their athletic prowess and skills, while vying for the ultimate netball championship title. However, as the host school, Ilma is very keen that it should be done in a manner which inculcates the value of sportsmanship and in a spirit of camaraderie. In an arena which could witness the fiercest of competition, it is still imperative that the players treat one another with respect, managing the emotions that come with the highs and lows of the game.
The platinum sponsor of the tournament is Huf&Dee, one of the leading ladies wear brand exclusively available at all NoLimit and Glitz outlets. The contribution of the sponsors, which also include the silver sponsor Serendib Flour Mills and event partner Ebony Holdings will go a long way towards the success of events of this nature, which form part of the holistic learning experience that educational institutions yearn for in order to complement the academic programmes that form the core aspect of all schools.
