Tri-Nations Article...
Hong Kong hosted it's first Tri-Nations International
Tournament from Jan 13-15 2012 at Kowloon Park Sports
Centre. HK invited it's Asian neighbours, Thailand and
Chinese Taipei to the event in the hope of promoting and
developing the National Teams from this region. These three
nations rarely compete in international matches and hence
this type of tournament will provide invaluable
international exposure as all three teams will be
participating in the Asian Open Netball Championships in
August 2012 and hopes to be more competitive amongst the top
Asian Nations.
"As netball is still a very unknown sport to many people in
HK, this type of tournament was able promote netball to the
HK local community. The more people know about it, more
numbers we will get and hopefully we will then get more
support from the government and sponsors. Hence we can
develop the sport even more and be more competitive on the
international stage. A lot of spectators who watched
netball for the first time all provided us with
positive feedback and expressed how exciting the game was to
watch." Connie Wong (HK Netball Association Technical
Manager).
Overall the weekend was a great success for Hong Kong as
they went through the tournament undefeated and winning the
trophy by beating Thailand in the final 45 to 25. Chinese
Taipei played a Hong Kong Youth Team and won their first
game 46 to 38. HK hopes to host this event annually as this
is an important stepping stone to develop our players and
officials, and in general to develop the sport to the HK
community.
