Divasa Finance powers national netball team
The Divasa Finance Limited announced that they will sponsor the
National Netball Team at the upcoming sixth National Netball Tournament
taking place in Singapore, in a bid to promote the sport to all parts of
the country as well as internationally. Sri Lanka is at present the
Asian Champions and it is essential to ensure that the players receive
adequate international exposure in addition to receiving high
performance skills development, physical and mental conditioning and
nutrition, if the country is to retain this title at the Asian
Championships to be held in Sri Lanka in August 2012.
"Netball is now hugely popular in Sri Lanka where over seven thousand
play this game and our national team is now ranked 14th in the world and
first in Asia which confirms the fact that we can compete at an
international level," the Netball Federation Interim Committee President
Ms. Tamara Dharmakirti Herath said. "Our new captain, Tharjini
Sivalingam, the tallest player in women's category is ranked number one
among shooters across the world which is a feather in our cap. I really
appreciate this bold and magnanimous gesture by Divasa Finance in
contributing for the development of our promising national team which no
doubt will be an eye opener for other sponsors as well."
"We are pleased to support the Netball Federation of Sri Lanka and
the National Netball team at a time our players are performing very well
and need material and moral support to give them an edge over other
countries.
This game is now very popular in Sri Lanka as a team sport and there
is no doubt that more latent talent hidden especially in villages could
be unearthed through such sponsorships.
