Defending champions Johannesburg are confident of retaining their SA title as they gear up to face strong opponents in tough conditions at the Spar National Netball Championships being played at Ellis Park this week.
Last year the Johannesburg side successfully defended their senior A-division crown, beating Mangaung in the final in Rustenburg, and they will target their third straight title as hosts of the six-day domestic showpiece starting on Monday morning.
Aiming to win it for the third time might be tough but were seeing it as motivation rather than pressure so were looking forward to it and the energy levels are very good, said new Johannesburg captain Didintle Keebine, a former captain of the Dr Kenneth Kaunda district team.
