Myponga Netball Club

The MNC was formed in 1934 and won their first premiership in 1936 (pictured left). In those days all courts were dirt or more frequently mud and marked with lime. Prior to each season, the courts had to be scraped of all grass and stones. A far cry from the conditions of today.

In 1941, all sporting activities were suspended indefinitely, while men and women played their part in World War 2. After the war ended the young people in the area were eager to resume their pre-war activities and in 1946 the MNC held its first AGM.

In April 1947, the club held a fete and an unveiled the first asphalt court. Up until 1960 there were only two teams, but the club was able to field A, B, C and D teams with the D grade being junior level. In 1961, the Myponga Sporting Pavilion was erected, and the players then had somewhere to change.

The MNC attended their first Country Carnival in 1936 and the club continues to attend to this day. In 1967 the MNC left the Southern Association and joined the Greater Southern Association and in 1968 and 1969 the A grade won the premiership.

A grant from the Department of Recreation and Sport in 1986 enabled the MNC to build clubrooms, giving the club a home of its own.

Since 1956 MNC has won 14 A Grade/League premierships and 89 premierships in other divisions.
