Enjoy the long weekend!

The sun finally came out on Saturday and what a stunning day of netball it was!

From our youngest players right through to our open divisions, it was fantastic to see the courts buzzing with energy.

This coming weekend, our Saturday competition takes a well earned break for the June Long Weekend as our representative teams head west to Penrith for the 2026 Senior State Titles.

We wish our 15 Years, 17 Years, Open Women and Open Men all the very best as they proudly represent Manly Warringah on the state stage. We know you'll wear the blue and white with pride! 💙🤍

Before we introduce our State Title teams throughout the week, we'll be wrapping up a huge weekend of netball and sharing some of the highlights from across the association.

Good luck to all our players, coaches, managers, umpires and officials travelling to Penrith. Bring home some great memories!

💚🏐 Round 5 Reminders – Saturday 30 May 🏐💚

A few important reminders ahead of this weekend’s games:

☀️ Weather Update

The forecast is currently looking good for Saturday's games. However, conditions can change, so please keep an eye on the MWNA page and NetballHQ app for any updates.

📍 Please double check your game time and court location via PlayHQ or the NetballHQ app before leaving for the courts.

🏐 Important Update for Teams in the 2:20pm and 3:35pm Timeslots

Following last week's rain cancellations:

• Game 5 will be played first at the fixtured time as a half game
• 2 x 15-minute halves
• This game will be live scored via NetballHQ

We will then complete the postponed Game 4 by playing:

• The remaining 2 x 15-minute halves
• This portion of the game will be scored on paper

✂️ Nails short & smooth
🚫 Jewellery removed (earrings cannot be taped)
💧 Don't forget your water bottle
🚫 Please leave bikes, e-bikes, scooters, skateboards and skates at home

Good luck to all our Forest teams this weekend 💚🏐

Great job everyone with Live Scoring during Game 4 👏

Only a handful of minor issues popped up with players not being added to line ups, however these were addressed during the games and scorers were educated on the process. Thank you all for adapting so quickly to the new system.

Just a reminder that there are to be 𝗧𝗪𝗢 scorers standing together at all times, one from each team. The home team scorer is responsible for entering 𝗕𝗢𝗧𝗛 the home and away team line ups before the game commences. Please stand together like the old photo card days and go through the line ups carefully to ensure all players are allocated correctly.

During the game, the home team is responsible for entering the goals, while the away team verifies the score throughout the match.

Once the game has been completed and verified by both scorers, no appeals regarding the final score will be accepted, regardless of what spectators believe the score should be from watching online via Netball HQ or recording through other means. Occasionally there can be a delay with the syncing between PlayHQ and NetballHQ.

Thank you everyone for embracing Live Scoring and helping make the transition such a success for our Association.
