Netball Singapore has received a boost ahead of a busy and eventful year for the national team, with home-grown biotechnology company MiRXES coming on board as a title sponsor for the 2023 and 2024 editions of the Nations Cup.
“We are very proud to be partners with MiRXES, a leading bio-technology firm in Singapore, offering a range of cutting-edge services and products including screening and diagnostic testing for early-stage gastric cancers. We would like to thank MiRXES for their commitment to netball, the largest female team sport in Singapore.
“Netball Singapore’s programmes cater to people of all ages and encourage a healthy lifestyle through physical activity. This goes hand in hand with MiRXES’s mission to make early disease detection accessible and affordable in the community, ensuring Singaporeans lead healthier and longer lives.
Singapore won the first two editions of the tournament in 2006 and 2007 and was a finalist in 2019. In the inaugural tournament, Singapore lost to Papua New Guinea in the round-robin match but managed to turn the tide when the two teams met again in the final as the host won 46-41 at the Toa Payoh Sports Hall. The following year, Singapore defeated all their opponents in the group stage and won 56-32 against Trinidad and Tobago in the final.
