Nelson Mandela Bay will host an action packed week of international netball matches from Tuesday 22 October 2013 until Friday 26 October 2013 as the Tri Nations Netball Series takes place at the NMMU<\/a> indoor sports centre in Summerstrand.<\/p>\n

South Africa\u2019s very own pride and joy, The SPAR<\/a> Protea\u2019s will host England and Trinidad and Tobago in a thrilling showdown of three of world netball\u2019s top 10 teams.<\/p>\n

Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism<\/a> CEO, Ms Mandlakazi Skefile said, \u201cIt is such a privilege for Nelson Mandela Bay to support this event and welcome the players and team support to our shores. It is a great opportunity to showcase our world class facilities and beautiful destination\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tickets are being issued free on a first come first serve basis and supplied via the local netball authorities. Have a look out for the schedule of matches to take place at the Summerstrand Campus on the NMBT<\/a> web-site events calendar www.nmbt.co.za for times. The matches will be broadcast live on SuperSport as well as in the UK and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Have a special look out for Nelson Mandela Bay local, Zanele Mdodana who will be making her return to the South African Team in the centre court position of wing defence after recovering from injury. Mdodana believes her team can win and called on the metro to support in their number. \u201cLet\u2019s show the world what an incredible host city we are,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism has supplied a variety of event support such as having a Visitor Information Desk available at the venue for internationals and out of town visitor\u2019s as it is very important that they have a positive and welcoming experience.<\/p>\n

Netball South Africa President Mimi Mthethwa said: \u201cThe teams are here to win and will be spending much of their time in preparation when not in matches, these will be tough games. You can be assured of entertaining and enthralling action on the court.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cWe are very proud to be bringing the best international netball to this wonderful metro.\u201d<\/p>\n

The teams will be spending some time to inspire at local schools during their stay and hopefully catch a bit of what the metro has to offer such as the world class game farms and beaches.<\/p>\n

Not only will Nelson Mandela Bay be home to the Tri Nations Netball series, but in addition the Diamond Challenge which takes place from the 26 to 30 October 2013.
