The QUB Netball team and committee have rallied up support from yummy local businesses Big Al’s BBQ Burgers, Pappy’s Bakery, and less yummy but no less impressive Grotto Sports. The committee told The Tab,  “our aim was to create an event that’s all about and for Belfast. Hence the sponsorship of local businesses, the inclusion of other Qub sports in the promotion of the event and the invitation to local primary and secondary netball teams to come watch.”
