The all-day tournament allowed juniors in the 10 years to 18 years age divisions to enjoy shortened matches.
Instead of four quarters, players played two 10 minute halves from 8.30am until 4pm.
Most teams came from the Mid North Coast including Wauchope, Port Macquarie and Camden Haven, while others came from South West Rocks, Crescent Head and Gloucester to participate.
Coaches used the day for some match fitness leading into the semi finals in two weeks time.
48 teams played in a round robin format, playing each in their age group or division once.
HVNA junior registrar, Lyn Sparrenburg was happy with day.
“We were a little worried in the weeks leading up to the carnival, as numbers were low and we thought we may have to cancel,” she said.
“In the end, we had to turn some teams away.”
Sparrenburg said the level of netball played was of high quality.
“In the end, it was a lovely day and everything ran very smoothly,” she said.
“We have to thank our officials and all the umpires that spent their day with us.”
