The significant incentive package aimed at rewarding excellence begins with the 2026/27 GPL and the WPL champions, with each receive a brand-new vehicle.
Individual excellence will also be recognised, with the best player in both leagues and the coach of the season in the men’s and women’s competitions set to drive away new vehicles at the end of the campaign as well.
