WAPDA sweeps National Netball Titles
WAPDA won both the men's and women's titles of 19th National Netball Championship at Hamidi Hall of Pakistan Sports Board, Islamabad.
WAPDA clean-sweeped the 19th Netball Championship at Hamidi Hall of the Pakistan Sports Complex by winning both the women’s and men’s title.
WAPDA made history by winning both the categories after never previously winning both women’s and men’s titles together. Army failed in their pursuit of defending either of the titles.
WAPDA won a competitive men's final over Army 28-23 while they grounded Sindh 24-15 in a relatively easy women’s final.
“Its a great achievement for WAPDA to win both men’s and women’s championship,” president Pakistan Netball Federation Mudassar Arain said.
He said that players of all top teams showed brilliant performance and this championship will be helpful for the federation to pick the best players for the upcoming World Championship, which is slated to be held in October in Australia.
In a third place play-off PAF defeated Navy by 35-33 goals while Army beat Punjab by 29-10 in the women’s fixture.
On Monday, the Inter Inter Provincial Netball Championship will be played at the same venue where Punjab will defend the men’ title while Sindh will try to sustain their women’s title.
