The side has headed to Invercargill and will take part in the New Zealand men's championships at Stadium Southland, starting today.
Men's netball has always been played in Dunedin but for the best part of the past decade, a Dunedin team has not travelled to the national championships.
But this year, with more men playing the game and off-field matters being more organised, a Dunedin team was formed for the championships.
Mark Dore, who has been involved in the men's game for a while in Dunedin, said two men's club teams were playing in Dunedin this year, one more than last season.
They played each other every second week and played a Premier A women's team on the alternate week.
He said the men were affiliated to the College club and had enjoyed the club season.
They enjoyed playing against the women's teams and had come out on top most of the time.
He said most of the male players just enjoyed the game of netball and played lots of other sports. It was now accepted that men played netball.
Playing against women was not difficult for men and the women played quite a physical game.
The men's game was perhaps faster and more aerial, while the women's game was slightly slower but more controlled.
The Dunedin men's side was coached by Bethany Robertson, Becca Pitcaithly and Tarryn Dickson.
After being out of the national championships for a while, the Dunedin team may find it a steep mountain to climb to be competitive.
The 33rd annual tournament will feature 18 teams, including three from Australia.
The Australian teams - Australian reserve, under-20 and under-17 - add another element to the tournament.
Of the New Zealand teams, defending champion North Harbour is seeking its fourth consecutive title, while Christchurch boasts 18 previous titles to its credit and remains the most significant threat.
The tournament will run until Saturday.
