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.
