Elite Showcase Heads to Bermuda for 2026 Showpiece
|
Bermuda will take center stage on the international netball calendar later this summer after being named as the host nation for the 2026 Americas Netball Men’s Championship.
Netball Bermuda will be holding Tag Days in Hamilton Friday and Saturday to support their fund raising efforts for the CAC Games and the Men's Championships
The flagship tournament, running from August 31st to September 8th, will bring the region’s elite talent together for a high-stakes, week-long tournament to decide who will dominate the continental court.
Men’s netball continues to experience a rapid surge in global depth and popularity, with this year's showcase building heavily on the momentum of the dramatic 2024 edition held at the Warner Park Sporting Complex in St. Kitts and Nevis.
That tournament saw eight powerhouse nations—including Jamaica, England, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States—deliver a masterclass in athleticism, physicality, and fierce sporting rivalries.
With defending heavyweights and rising continental contenders set to descend on the island, local fans can expect a blockbuster festival of sport.
For Bermuda, hosting an event of this magnitude represents a massive logistical milestone and a golden opportunity to showcase the sport's expanding high-performance pipeline on home soil.

Raynor and Williams Take Center Stage in Summer Netball
|
A sensational twenty-seven goal haul from Danielle Raynor and a dominant thirty-four point display by Antoine Williams took top billing as the Summer Netball League delivered an evening of high-octane drama. Under the floodlights, the island's sharpest shooters and clinical defenders produced a stellar night of action spanning both the Women’s and Coed Divisions.
The opening encounter produced an absolute classic as PHC Lady Zebras narrowly outlasted Netball Bermuda Under-21 Academy by twenty-two goals to twenty-one. PHC were indebted to a masterful shooting performance from Nisaiah Berkeley, who bagged fourteen goals, while Sonja Townsend chipped in with eight. The youth academy pushed them all the way, fueled by Mayah Williams-Johnson's twelve-goal effort.

Jaya Dillas scored five and was named top attacker, while Kiante Lightbourne anchored the defense. The Storm fought gamely with Williams-Johnson netting six, but they had no answer for Raynor’s unstoppable prowess. Honor White claimed the most valuable player nod for the Storm, with Gabriella Babon named top attacker and T'jaia Butler selected as best defender.
In the Coed Division, Allshores romped to a convincing thirty-four to seventeen victory over RenRe. The damage was largely done by the clinical Sheldon Bahadosingh, who racked up twenty-three goals to break the RenRe resistance. Despite Coriah Simmons netting ten points in response for RenRe to earn top attacker honors, Allshores controlled the court. Synsir’s Lowe-Lowe was inspired at the heart of everything to claim the most valuable player trophy, supported by top attacker Keedai Astwood and best defender Kenszo Iris. Cruz Cedenio was named most valuable player for RenRe, while Alice Cedenio took the defensive award.
Meanwhile, Storm Chasers unleashed the most ruthless team performance of the night, blowing past Baileys Bay thirty-nine goals to thirteen. Antoine Williams was simply unplayable for the Chasers, single-handedly outscoring the opposition with an astonishing thirty-four goal masterclass to take home the most valuable player honors. Josh Hardtman and Kauai Evans scooped the attacker and defender awards respectively. Alexia Pascall fought hard for Bay with seven goals, while Jordyn Morris claimed the team most valuable player award. Samario Paul was named best attacker for Bay, with Cashun Brangman recognized as top defender on a night where the Chasers' defensive grid truly locked down the court.
