The Real Power of Netball
This weekend hopes are high that a new record crowd for an English domestic netball match will be achieved, but the sport is not just growing in the UK.
The sport is mainly the preserve of Commonwealth countries and is unusual in that the highest level of the game sees women compete.
It's this empowerment that's meant the sport is growing in some of the less traditional netball playing countries around the world... Including Ethiopia.
