Women from across the kingdom rallied to raise awareness about breast cancer by taking their shot in Bahrain Netball League’s annual tournament.

More than 80 players signed up for the Think Pink tournament held at the Bahrain Rugby Football Club (BRFC) last Sunday to support the charity champions as well as to kick off netball season, which started yesterday.

“This charity is close to our hearts,” said Jo Reed, the leagues president who has been a member since the 1980s and is also a goal shooter for the BRFC. “Sadly we have team-mates, past and present, which have been personally affected by this disease and we feel passionate about supporting causes that enable research and medical advancements in treating all types of cancer.

“Netball is a sport played widely across the globe and since the league began in Bahrain in 1983, it has provided a platform for both expatriate and national women to be involved in a team sport that builds individual confidence, sportsmanship and camaraderie and aids fitness and well-being.”
