Pickleball returns
The local pickleball competition held by and at the Deniliquin Stadium will be returning next week.
Finishing up before the Christmas break last year, the competition has been a great success.
And it looks like this season will be no different, with seven teams signed up so far, with five players per team.
Don’t stress if you are interested in being involved though, the competition needs three individual players for these seven teams and encourage full teams of five to sign up.
Getting the opportunity to play a sport you otherwise may never have is exciting enough to give it a go.
