Netball: Australia's remarkable run of success has continued, with the Diamonds claiming the series win over England with a 69-56 victory in Bendigo.
The all-conquering Australia n Diamonds hold no fear heading into Sunday’s first Constellation Cup clash in New Zealand – despite not managing a win across the ditch in more than three years.
“I think playing against New Zealand, it is one of our oldest and greatest rivalries – it’s always a tough game no matter how the teams are going.“The girls are really excited – we came off a strong series against England. “They come in fresh – they’ve had a series off. They are really excited and raring to go so I can’t wait to see them back out on the court.”
“When you watch her play for the Kiwis she’s a force to be reckoned with,” Diamond Jamie-Lee Price said.“Her bravery to be able to come to SSN and sacrifice her Silver Ferns dress to become a better player is something that I really admire. I think it’s really hard to do but she wants to be the best that she can be. Sometimes that’s not always following the crowd.”“She is such a target in that goal circle,” she said.
