Central Netball celebrated their 100 years of netball In 1976

A street parade was had in 1976 to mark the centennial of the Central Netball sub-association in Winton.  The parade which was very colourful was headed by pipes and drums from musicians throughout Winton and Central Southland.

After watching the parade the large crowd watched the two games to represent the old nine-a-side basketball days.  Some of the players had not played for years but they soon settled into the game and looked like they were enjoying every minute.

The 1975 representative played a game under the current rules and they were; Joan Campbell, Agnes Irwin, Judy Watson, Christine Flynn, Jackie Woods, Teresa Irwin, Doreen McNaught.  They played a team of past players in Dorothy Gill ( Hammond), Allison Young (Clark), Avis Ward (Jespersen), Shirley Jackson (McLister), Raewyn Wilson (Forbes), Nan Wright (Forbes), Margaret Neylon (Boyle), Karen Lee (Lightfoot), Coral Clark (Lightfoot), Margaret Holder (Cuthbert), Leslie Robertson (McIntosh).
