The Emanie Netball Club upheld its reputation as Guyana’s leading netball club with an unbeaten performance on their way to winning the two-day Sherwin McKenzie mixed teams competition held last weekend at the National Gymnasium.
Emanie blazed through all of their matches to end the competition with the maximum 10 points securing three wins on Saturday and two on Sunday in the double round competition.
Occupying the runner up position was the All Stars Netball team, with two wins and a draw for five points while the Eagles Netball Club placed third.
The competition which saw male and female players competing together also saw the participation of the Rim Rockerz Netball Club.
