It’s a National League domestic competition for Netball in New Zealand called the ANZ Premiership where match reports throughout the mid-year are here.
Their six teams are the Northern Mystics, Central Pulse, Northern Stars, Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic, Maintland Tactix and Southern Steel.
That 2nd game the Boks did against the AB during the last 20 odd mins was simply Boks Office to retain the Sports Freedom Cup. Yes, All Blacks may have won the first game last weekend. However, Boks had the two-test series of their life last season all on home turf as part of the…
Sports – Easy to say the courageous Ardie Savea on the open flank 7 who did a bit of everything from defense to attack and back again on behalf of his ABs tribe. Cometh the hour, cometh the man on what has been his 100th Test match. Beauden Barrett under coach Scott Robertson’s orders were…
If you’re a Warringah Rats fan, what a day to be proud of as this year’s champions-elect of the NSW Shute Shield Season Sports. Gotta say that being there to support the Rats every week when they made the easiest decision to invade the pitch by running up to celebrate with the players is just…
Handre Pollard the well experienced No.10 whose kicking game was top shelf from conversions towards sticks to creative crosses as if the sports fans are waiting for the fireworks to start at any moment at any time for the Boks in Cape Town. Meanwhile, Ox Nche strong as an ox on the Boks frontline loose…
So speechless right now other than a Super Wallabies win v the Boks away from home in the Republic something we haven’t seen in sports quite a long time. Harry Wilson the team skipper at 8 being laser focused with every single hit and steal that the Boks could not see this coming but sad…
Netball – First of all, how good was the Mainland Tactix who just became the new ANZ Premiership champions for the first time ever in NZ’s National League history. Also a first in the making was head coach and former player Donna Wilkins as shoutout on getting the best out of this experienced group that…
Premiership Netball – the Great Wall of the Mainland Tactix’s back three and also Silver Ferns starting mainstay too. The way she defends & protects Jane Watson with a few deflections and intercepts was top shelf as evident both ANZ Premiership and International level. She also wouldn’t mind attacking sometimes who is also comfortable at…
ANZ Premiership – It’s easy to say the young GK Catherine Hall had a fantastic afternoon as always with goal defense skipper Michaela Sokolich-Beatson by her side. She read the Tactix’s poor passage of play up front off the back of her tremendous jumps and catches along the way and we all know she’ll be…
Netball Week – Like the 21-18 win by the Wallabies v Fiji in Rugby, we also saw a four-point match (56-52) at the same time with the Mystics over Steel. Now Steel not out of Top 3 just yet as sure they can finish the 10-week season on a high v the Stars at home…
Great to see the Central Pulse find their winning formula 2025 Netball after they’ve lost three straight weeks that puts them at risk of not making Top 3 finals but now they’re still hanging in there with two rounds left. Pulse also listened well to feedback from their fans when utilising the expertise of Amorangi…
