Netball Fiji calling for support amid disappointing World Cup

Netball Fiji is calling out to everyone to support the Fiji Pearls although they started their 2015 Netball World Cup campaign on a disappointing note.

Speaking to Fijivillage from Sydney, Netball Fiji CEO Wainikiti Bogidrau says they are in high spirits and are targeting a 9th or 10th place finish at the 2015 Netball World Cup in Sydney.

The Fiji Pearls finished in 10th place in the 2011 Netball World Cup in Singapore.

Fiji missed out on a spot in the main qualification round and is now taking part in the tier two competition with Samoa, Zambia, Trinidad and Tobago, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Barbados and Scotland.

The Fiji Pearls will face Scotland in their third qualification match at 8.20 tonight.

Barbados face Sri Lanka at 6.20pm while Trinidad and Tobago meet Samoa at 10.20pm.

The only Tier One match today will be between Jamaica and Uganda at 4.20pm.
