Southern Region Netball League has increased registration fees from K25,000 to K30,000 for teams wishing to participate in Rainbow Paints Netball League set to throw-off on July 2.
This follows a meeting which the league’s executive held with teams’ representatives at Blantyre Youth Centre on Saturday.
The league’s General Secretary, Annie Hanjahanja, said the increase was reasonable considering the prevailing economic situation.
“It is not a secret that as a nation we are facing financial problems. As a league, we haven’t been spared either. We have reasonably increased the registration fee from K25,000 to K30,000 because we want to issue modern identity cards,” she said.
Hanjahanja said, so far, nine teams, including Young Professionals, have confirmed their participation in the league.
“Just like in the previous season, we will register 10 teams only,” she said.
Currently, Tigresses are the defending champions.
Despite tying on points with Kukoma Diamonds, Tigresses snatched the title from their rivals owing to their superior baskets difference.
Rainbow Paints came to the rescue of the league when it unveiled K4 million worth sponsorship after SRNL lost sponsorship from OG Issa Group of Companies.
Initially, Rainbow Paints used to sponsor Top VI Netball Series.
