Hundreds of netballers will once again take over Rugby Park to participate in “ Play on the Pitch 2 ” on Kilmarnock FC ’ s all-weather , premier league pitch . The competition will see Rugby Park turned into nine netball courts with 32 teams from far and wide ( so far including Kinross , Largs , Dumbarton , Glasgow and across Ayrshire ) competing in a cup and plate tournament . For the first time , the ninth court on the pitch will be reserved for a junior schools competition , with participating teams from nearby local authority areas .
Trophies and awards will be presented directly after the tournament when players , supporters and spectators can celebrate and relax enjoying a well-earned , complimentary burger from the BBQ , beer ( or soft drink ) and some great live music . With loads of family entertainment also going on throughout the day , friends and families are invited to get along to cheer on their team from the terraces .
Once again all money raised will go towards reaching the £ 30,000 fundraising target to be shared between Stewarton Ladies Netball ’ s nominated charities - Scottish Autism , Scottish Disability Sport and Ayrshire Hospice .
One of the event organisers Sharon Kearney explains “ Play on the Pitch 2 marks the continuation of an exciting fundraising campaign by Stewarton Ladies Netball , with the ambitious team staging a number of exciting fundraising events over the 18 months , culminating in a demanding overseas cycling challenge in
A maximum of twelve players can register per team . Teams will be randomly put into sections of four and play each other within their section . In the afternoon session the top two teams within their section will go into the “ winners group ” and the bottom two into the “ plate group ”, with trophies to be won in both groups . Each team will play a minimum of six x 15 minute games .
