KARACHI: The National Beach Men’s Netball Championship 2014 which was scheduled to be held at Sea View, Karachi from Sept 25-27 has now been postponed, PNF Secretary General Mudassar Arain announced on Friday.

Mudassar said that the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) Karachi had informed Pakistan Netball Federation (PNF) that they are unable to grant the permission to organise the beach netball event since the govt of Sindh has imposed Section 144 at the Sea View for an indefinite period.

The new dates and venue for the National Beach Netball will be announced shortly.
