Netbal sweef en floreer by die NWU
Dit is ’n vlugvoetige dans en balle wat met sierlike boë deur die lug vlieg. Dit is ’n tapisserie van spanwerk, saamgeweef deur drade van meedoënlose aanvalle en rotsvaste verdediging.

Dit was weer eens duidelik uit die magdom NWU-spelers wat vir…http://news.nwu.ac.za/netball-flying-and-flourishing-nwu
