With all the excitement of the first-ever Netball World Cup to be hosted on African soil, South Africans are thrilled.

 It is history in the making like the soccer World Cup in 2010 to be hosted on African soil.

 To help the public enjoy the action, some municipalities have opened public viewing areas (PVA) and Lynnville Hall was one of the public viewing areas.

 The viewing area was open from Friday, July 28 until Sunday, July 30. The aim of opening the public viewing area was to encourage residents to come out and enjoy the sporting event.

 Sports officials and players, fans, and the public came in their numbers to enjoy the games.

 On Saturday, July 29 South Africa was playing Sri Lanka in their second game in the tournament. In the first quarter South Africa led 24-9, in the second quarter they led 45-18.

In the third quarter, the Proteas led 68-24 and the game ended with the host leading 87-32, the final score.
