The 2014 Men’s and Mixed Netball Championships in Brisbane are now officially a part of Australian history.
Players and officials from winning teams were specifically acknowledged by The Hon Catherine Cusack in an address to NSW State Parliament.
Umpires and other officials who also made the event a success, including Sunshine State Men’s Netball were also individually recognised.
