MBABANE – After dominating the SBS Mbabane Zone Netball League, champions
Mbabane Raiders have set their sights on a bigger stage.
Having withdrawn from the Swaziland Building Society (SBS) elite league this
season, Raiders Coach Nkabinde Shabalala has stated they are poised for a
comeback. Shabalala said that this time around , they aimed to be a force to be
reckoned with, challenging the netball powerhouses of the country.
“The plan now is to elevate them to the higher echelons of competition, which
is the elite league. We will also participate in a tournament in South Africa to
expose our youthful squad.
Formiddable
“The goal is to have them become a formidable opponent for teams like REPS and
Correctional within the next two to three years,” the coach said.   Royal 
Eswatini Police Service (REPS) are currently the frontrunners in the elite
women’s league. They clinched the first round title, while Correctional
secured victories in both rounds the previous season.
