Thank You to SA Power Networks for their 24th year as Sponsor
2020
It was a very difficult season due to COVID-19. AMND season was cut short playing only one round and finals. Premier league and Reserves were able to finish their season playing 3 matches in 14 days.
One of the reasons we were able to get the season going was all the work our President Lee-Anne Petherick was able to give to Netball SA.
SA POWER NETWORKS has sponsored Contax Netball Club for 25 years THANK YOU SA POWER NETWORKS.
2020 we had 37 teams across Premier League and AMND with 30 of these teams contesting I finals 16of these teams playing in Grand Final with 8 premierships.
Premier League finished the minor round top but unfortunately fell in the grand final to Matrics
Reserves finished 2nd after minor round but unfortunately ended up 3rd.
Contax again won the Excellence award.
Once again, we would like to thanks to Sarah McKay (Sutter) our No 1 ticket holder
