Netball Shield Match Article

Hi All

Check out Flickr for a copy of a letter that was written to the editor of the paper here. Last weekend we started our outdoor Netball season. Apparently SMOGA are the current holders of a Shield therefore every time they play it's a Shield match. Shield matches are shown on TV3 here!!!!! Lots of exclamation marks as next weekend my team will be playing SMOGA (and yes we will be on TV!!!!!) Anyway just thought you might like to read about he fist-i-cuffs during the first game. Since the article I have heard that the GA got severely annoyed (obviously) with the GK who was mouthing off at her for the whole game and contacting. This was not controlled by the umpires (the umpires have a lot to answer for) so she eventually took matters into her own hands. Hopefully we will not end up in the paper after our game. Oh and I might even be having to umpire the Shield match this weekend so I will be sure to watch out for any contacting and mouthing off!!!!!!!!!!
