Netball Jamaica President Tricia Robinson is praising the standard of play and the continued development of netball locally, with the island having a fair share of enthralling action on the courts, after the culmination of the Supreme Ventures Netball League's Major and Minor Leagues finals.

"The Netball League finals have been an exhilarating showcase of talent, passion, and sportsmanship. I am incredibly proud of all the teams that participated. We remain committed to nurturing and elevating the sport by providing more opportunities for the netball community to shine and thrive," said Robinson.
