@KiwiChic,
Wow - I never heard of netball. I had to look it up to see what it was - very similar to basketball. The Sun (our closest professional women's basketball team) actually has a team member from Australia - she is quite good; personally she was my favorite. I loved her spirit and how hard she played.
I realize you must be from New Zealand as I looked up the Silver Ferns (and I suppose your name is a bit of a give away too). Do they have a big following? I assume you played field hockey; not ice hockey? Believe it or not we do have women leagues for ice hockey.
