In Bern.
But I'm sure after our inaugural game the excitement will spread and a Switzerland-wide league will spring up.
(You know that offering to play WA is just the shy way of volunteering for Centre!)

... and I always thought it was great that I could have dibs on the lazy positions thanks to being tall with freakishly long arms.

I did not know about Netball till I read this post and googled it. 
I will definitely participate when something comes up on forum calendar. |

This week it's at my work and kind of a proof-of-principle, check we know which ones the head hole kind of thing ... but a Zurich-Bern EF fixture is a great idea and you have half a team already. I'll have a think and maybe get an invite/challenge sorted out for next month ...

I'd be willing to play on the Zurich team. Used to play WA but can always double up as WD if need be.

I'm in. It's been years since I played but this sounds like the perfect chance to get back into it.
