August 20, 2015 12:15 am

The Fiji Primary School Netball Association is proud to have two new districts, Koro and Gau join the Kaji Netball competition this year.

Association president, Susana Liga says the Lau district had also shown interest in joining the 3-day tournament this year, but pulled out at the last minute due to financial difficulties.

Liga says plans are underway to involve as many districts as possible to build a solid foundation upon which to develop the sport for young players.
