DEFENDING champions Glow Petroleum got their Rainbow Amateur Netball League (Ranl) off to the perfect start with two victories over Mambas and Hi-flyers in matches played in Chitungwiza.

Mambas, who finished as runners up last season were beaten 49-43 while Hi-flyers were handed a 104-3 hiding.

The match between Mambas and the High-flyers was stopped owing to the rains falling. This season the Ranl league will have 18 teams battling it out in six venues.

Farm Prison, Shamva Mine, Chitungwiza, Shamva Urban, Morris Depot and Patchway will host the matches. Four new teams Delta Beverages, Hwange Colliery, Belvedere and ZRP Mutare have joined the league this term.
