Nations Cup Player Focus: Georgia Heffernan (NZ)
AFTER a first up loss, New Zealand got its Nations Cup campaign back on track on matcday two with a five-goal win over Uganda. A big part of that success was goal attack Georgia Heffernan.

SSN Player Focus: Latanya Wilson (Adelaide Thunderbirds)
AS the Adelaide Thunderbirds booked a finals double chance on the weekend with a win over the NSW Swifts, a huge part in that success was Latanya Wilson.

NSL Player Focus: Shaquanda Greene-Noel (Celtic Dragons)
IT had been a long time coming, but finally the Celtic Dragons picked up their second win of the 2023 Netball Super League season last weekend with a convincing win over the Strathclyde Sirens.

NSL Player Focus: Vicki Oyesola (Leeds Rhinos)

Perhaps […]

NSL Player Focus: Fran Williams (Loughborough Lightning)
AFTER a week off, the Loughborough Lightning returned to the Netball Super League (NSL) action over the weekend looking as fresh as a daisy and comfortably disposing of the Celtic Dragons. One huge key cog in that Lightning victory was defender Fran Williams, who had a particularly impressive performance. She finished with a whopping eight […]
NSL Player Focus: Jayda Pechova (Team Bath)
DESPITE Team Bath going down to the Severn Stars by 10 goals on the weekend, many players on the losing side put in stellar shifts. One such player was Jayda Pechova. In only her first year at Bath after crossing from the Pulse, she has slotted in seamlessly and made a real impact for her […]
NSL Player Focus: Natalie Metcalf (Manchester Thunder)
MANCHESTER Thunder fought off a tough challenge from the Strathclyde Sirens to take the win on the weekend, and a key part of that success was their skipper Natalie Metcalf.
