Mercantile Netball Tournament 2016

The Sri Lanka Netball Federation (SLNF) is scheduled to hold the national pool selection trials, for the 10th Asian Netball Championships, on the 24th and 25th of May at the Gampaha Ratnavali Balika Indoor Stadium commencing at 9.00am each day. 

Previously, the trials were scheduled for the 20th of May however, due to the prevailing weather it was decided that postponing the trials would be the best course of action.

Although an age restriction of Under 30 had been imposed at the last trials, with the intervention of the Sports Minister Dayasiri Jayasekara the restriction has been scrapped and the new trials will be open to every Netball player in the Island.

The Asian Netball Championships are scheduled to run from the 30th of July to the 7th of August in Thailand. Sri Lanka will be looking to replicate the performances of their youth team who emerged as Champions at the Asian Junior Netball Championships late last year.
