Netball fever

Next term sees netball season begin at Laingholm. Unlike many teams here, the netball teams are arranged by age and not ability. Jo is coaching the Year 6 team including Caitlin on Monday nights. Luckily she has a great manager who can organise all the organising stuff and leave Jo with the fun part, coaching the kids. Our matches are played on Saturday mornings at Te Pai Place. There are about 20 courts all in one small space. Very intimidating!

We passed there yesterday on the way to the Trust Stadium to watch the local team Northern Mystics play in the Transtasman league. The Mystics have a few really good players ( Temepara George who just won Dancing with the Stars, Sheryl Scanlon ( a current Silver Fern) and Davu, who for a netball player is a BIG girl...there is hope for us all). Unfortunately Perth Fever were a better team, always about a metre ahead of our players. Our allegiances were torn as their WA plays for the English team and was Fantastic!!!

The kids enjoyed the match, or was that just the chips? Roo caught a cap thrown out at half time (for his sister) and C got everyone's autographs.
