The Private Companies Netball Competition (PCNC) kicked off its second round of matches over the weekend on Sunday 19th January, at the Rita Flyn outdoor courts in Port Moresby city, much to the excitement of netball fans. According to PCNC President Julie Mai, the competition is made up of organizations right across the country with the goal to network, interact and bond and having a good time. “Although we work from 8-5, many times we are not interacting with each other (our own colleagues), so this is a fun space for us to network and bond with other organizations, with our colleagues. And through sports, it has helped us to work together as a team not only on the courts but on the field.” Mai acknowledged Voda Fone PNG for coming on board again as the golden sponsors of the 2025 PCNC with a sum of k15, 000. She said PCNC always sustained itself through its affiliation fees but with the sponsorship from Voda Fone PNG for this season, they were able to include service providers such as the National St John Ambulance and a physio on site to attend to any injuries during matches throughout the duration of the competition. “We had to bring in the services of the physio and the National St John Ambulance so that we can physically attend to injuries or issues and make sure that our workers are in good health before they take the courts.” With the finals to be played in March, Mai is urging all teams and players to adhere to the rules and regulations to avoid being penalized.
