Isle of Man netball has world ranking in sight
Netball Europe has confirmed the 2019 Open Challenge event will be hosted by the Isle of Man Netball Association, for the first time.
In May next year, the Island's senior squad will compete against six world-ranked teams.
This will provide the Isle of Man with a netball world ranking, for the first time in the sport's history.
After only making the change to Netball Europe last year, Isle of Man Netball president Pip Cross is delighted with the steps that have been taken in such a short amount of time.
