After a year of being stuck in limbo, the Republic’s top netballers will finally get to compete again when the Deloitte Netball Super League (NSL) returns on Saturday after it was cancelled owing to the coronavirus pandemic.
The NSL will be the first local sports league to resume full scale after the Singapore Premier League, which is for the nation’s professional footballers.
The annual seven-a-side tournament faced multiple postponements last year and was eventually cancelled with strict safe management measures (SMMs) making it impossible to stage. Instead, a modified 3v3 league took place.
This move towards smallersided games with modified rules, which was in keeping with national SMMs, was also replicated in other team sports such as hockey and floorball.
The 2020 season had been forced to end prematurely after two rounds with Sneakers Stingrays declared champions. The semi-finals, preliminary final and grand final did not take place.
Five clubs – Stingrays, Blaze Dolphins, Fier Orcas, Swifts Barracudas and Magic Marlins – and Netball Singapore (NS) selection team Mission Mannas will be in action at Our Tampines Hub (OTH) from Jan 15 to March 6.
