“O KITOU QOI”

Naitasiri to Sydney🇦🇺

On behalf of the Naitasiri South Netball Association, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to our teams who will proudly represent our association and the Province of Naitasiri at the Sapphires International Series Championship in Sydney, Australia.

Congratulations to our Open Women’s Team, Mixed Senior Team, and Mixed Junior Team. You carry with you the hopes, pride, and spirit of our community. Your commitment to training, teamwork, and discipline has earned you this opportunity to compete on the international stage.

This journey is a testament to God’s faithfulness. Just last year, we worked together to revive the Naitasiri South Netball Association. Through perseverance, unity, and prayer, we moved from rebuilding our association, to competing in Inter-District competitions, and now to representing our people internationally. Truly, God has guided every step of this journey — and for that, we give Him all the praise and glory.

As it is written in the Bible:

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
— Philippians 4:13

I would also like to acknowledge and sincerely thank everyone who contributed to this journey — those who supported us through prayers, spiritual encouragement, fundraising efforts, and the many parents, supporters, and community members who stood beside our players. Your support has made this possible.

To our players, thank you for your dedication, sacrifices, and commitment to training. You are ambassadors not only of Naitasiri South Netball Association but also of the values of discipline, humility, and teamwork.

This tour marks the first of many international opportunities to come. Our doors remain open to all who wish to be part of our journey. Whether you are from Naitasiri or beyond, you are always welcome to join us as we prepare for our 2027 international tour.

To all our families, friends, and supporters in Sydney and across Australia, we warmly invite you to come and support our teams at the:

Sapphires International Series Championship
📍 Minto Indoor Stadium, NSW
