The U18 squad came through with blistering energy, with players forming a coordinated force that steamrolled through opponents with ease and big score margins. In their only losing game against Pietermaritzburg Girls High School, the score was a narrow 27–28. Amanzimtoti player Alwande Gasa was named the Shooter of the Festival.
The Amanzimtoti Netball Club was started after Ruan Engelbrecht, former provincial player turned coach, realised that there were not a lot of sports options available for female athletes. In 2023, he wrote a successful proposal to the Amanzimtoti Sports Centre. The club formally launched this month.
