DPM Netball Club Aims for Grand Final.

The Department of Personnel Management is encouraging healthy living and practices amongst women employees within its walls through sports, but not just any sports – NETBALL.

The creation of the DPM Netball Club headed by Evelyn Laho, the president of the Team DPM says the aim of the club is to promote health work life and balance and to socialize and bond to keep healthy networking amongst DPM officers.

“The DPM Netball Club is made up of female officers of DPM and spouses of DPM officers, as well as their daughters are encouraged to join,” she said. 

Team DPM takes part in the Public Servant Netball Association as every year.

Laho said currently Team DPM is one of the top four teams in the competition and is set to be in the play off on Saturday the 15th of February heading into the final rounds of competition.

“We are hoping that this Saturday, we can bring the team up to the grand finals,” says Laho.

“We are playing the Office of Censorship Team, who currently sit third place on the competition ladder. We currently sit in fourth place,” she said.

“Team one plays against team two and team three plays against team four and the winner of the two teams stand by for grand finale,” says Laho.

The currently competition is made up of two seasons annually called Pre-season and Proper season.

Each seasons have five rounds of games.

From the second week of October the seasons start and that is where all the pre-season games start and then they move on to proper season games where, all the four top teams play off so that is called the Knock-outs game.

Laho encouraged female officers of DPM who are not doing anything over the weekend, to come down and support the Team DPM.

“DPM staff, families or friends who would like to join the team please feel free to come and join us.

A great team bonding experience, inspiring the spirit of positivity and a healthy workplace for all. A great family orientated day playing sport and having fun. So please come on down and support our ladies,” said Laho.
