Karen Rosen-Baugh, president of Netball Jamaica, says she is expecting an exciting day of high quality netball.

“Saturday is going to be a very big day for our divisional leagues because it is finals day," said Rosen-Baugh. “We have had over 300 matches at the National Stadium, and it will culminate late on Saturday with five finals and a third-placed playoff, and so it is a very big day for our clubs."

She is also urging the supporters of the various clubs to come out and cheer on their teams in these finals today. 

“We definitely want fans of netball and all of the club's supporters to come out and support their teams. We are accustomed to having a very full house on finals day, and so we expect no less, and the weather should be great, and netball should be fantastic," said Rosen-Baugh. 

“The Major League primarily has a lot of national and former national players, and we will be having two matches on Saturday, and so these matches, along with the other finals, will be very exciting throughout,” she added.
