Hulhumeedhoo women played a friendly netball match to mark National Day

“This is just the beginning, we have a long way to go” said Ms. Shibana Hassan, the captain of Hulhudhoo ‘Dimish Kara (DK) Team’ and queen of yesterday’s friendly netball match. The match was played at DK ground as part of the ongoing National Day celebration in the island and to introduce DK to rest of Hulhudhoo and Meedhoo. Hulhudhoo team, comprised of mostly DK players, won over the mightier Meedhoo side by a narrow margin, 15-14.

Meedhoo players have been very friendly and instrumental in developing the netball players in Hulhudhoo. “We are very thankful to Mr. Ibrahim Saeed for sending his players to help us learn the game” said a DK based Hulhudhoo netball player.

Meedhoo players were delighted with the resilience shown by Hulhudhoo team. They have immediately invited Hulhudhoo team for a second match at Meedhoo. “We are more than happy to perform in Meedhoo and we believe Meedhoo side is much stronger even thought they lost the game” said a DK player. She expressed that playing away would be a new experience and would certainly improve our exposure to different levels of spectators.

As DK is the emerging district in Hulhudhoo, localization of people from rest of the island is on surge. More and more people are attracted to DK every day. The park developed adjacent to DK ground by its people alone has now become the entertainment center of Hulhudhoo. Socially immoral behavior, infatuated by abuse of drugs, by few of DK locals had totally washed its name from Hulhudhoo for decades. However, DK with enormous contribution from each of its households has successfully overcome those socially unacceptable issues. As for now, the future of DK and Hulhudoo at large is seen very bright, however the sustainability of it depends very much on its determination with a fraction of government’s consideration.
