Silver Ferns!

There really is not a lot that compares to being at a match where the Silver Ferns beat Australia. And that's what I just experienced. We beat those Aussies by 19 goals and it was a spectacle to behold. I loved that the Aussies had been making statements in the press about our lack of depth in the shooting circle, and yet we got all four of our shooters throughout the game and walked all over their defenders. Not even a Furry-man or a Bulley made any difference. Oh man, there were so many things I loved about that game. Anna Scarlett made the starting 7, and her, Casey and Leana were on fire on defence. So cool for Grace Rasmussen to get on the court, and for all the shooters to get their first shots at goal in. Loved that Sharelle had a few tantrums and was absent the rest of the game. There's nothing like the atmosphere either. Not often are you free to shout, both in support and in critique of what you see. So fun. The young girl beside me gave me a few funny looks at some of the stuff I was yelling though. Haha.
I love that netball is starting to get the recognition and support it deserves. On Wednesday the 6 o'clock News was delayed an hour because the netball was being played in Australia and was broadcast on the same channel. First time they've done that, apparently.
OK, I'll stop raving, but I'm very happy.
