The men are here to stay

'MEN in netball' shock.

Some will tutter and shake heads at the very thought, but James Robert's cleverly named Lookinforasponsor side – because they are – could be very good news for island netball generally.

They begun their competitive life in the traditional outdoor leagues with a thrilling 32-30 victory over Resolution IT, coming back from a four-goal deficit late in the mixed league game at Beau Sejour to snatch an exciting win.

Robert, the former island women's coach, said the sport was a winner, not just his new team.

'Twitter and Facebook was alive last night with positive comments.'
