On Saturday 30th July 2011, the second annual UK SNM Ladies National Netball Tournament took place at West Midlands, Sant Nirankari Satsang Bhawan, UK. Saintly sisters of all ages came from across the UK, to participate in a fun filled day of netball, and in the process underpinned Satguru Baba Ji's message that devotion through actions of humility, tolerance, love and peace remain the foundation of an enlightened soul’s life, even in the sporting arena.

As per the inaugural tournament one year prior, all participating player’s names were randomly selected to form mixed teams aptly named, ‘Petals of Peace’, ‘Flowers of Forgiveness’ and ‘Universal Sisterhood’. Local saints enhanced the event by cheering on all participating saints and demonstrating the love and tranquillity which is always prevalent when enlightened beings congregate.

The event demonstrated the ethos of the Mission of living life with saintly virtues in all environments through praying together, playing together and ultimate staying together in unison with God Almighty.

Rev Mahesher Singh Bhumbra Ji, SNM Executive In-Charge of Social and Welfare and fellow Executive member Rev Sukhjinder Singh Ji presided over the event and blessed all participants both prior to commencement and during the post match presentations. They emphasised that practicing and participating in such events solidifies internal unity of the congregation and provides the platform for future participation in externally organised events in order to spread the mission’s message.
