in which the Philippines made an appearance was the new sport of Netball. Netball a
Commonwealth sport which is dominated by New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and The
Caribbean is making its first appearance in the SEA Games. A sport similar to Basketball
without a backboard and with no bouncing of the ball and a limitation of steps for each
player taken is a women’s sport.
The Philippines lost 66-22 against Thailand, however, a more crushing defeat would come
the second day with a 112-11 loss to Malaysia. Two defeats for a rather young Netball team
which is doing its bit to support women’s sports.
