Nelson Netball pitches for Trafalgar Centre kit outPhillip Rollo Tactix player Zoe Walker and Magic player Joanne Harten compete for the ball during their ANZ Championship game at the Trafalgar Centre in Nelson last month. While the Trafalgar Centre hosts a number of events, netball is the only sport televised from the centre. Nelson Netball has asked the Nelson City Council to upgrade the Trafalgar Centre in the hopes the region won't be overlooked when it comes to hosting national and international games. The Trafalgar Centre has no permanent rigging and lighting to host televised games without having to hire a temporary set up. Until recently, SKY and Netball Mainland shared the costs of the additional expenses in preparing the Trafalgar Centre for broadcasting games but from now on, Netball Mainland would have to foot the entire bill.
