Hi Monstar's,
Well it has been awhile between events, one being the Thunderbirds Grandfinal! That day was incrediable. My family and friends, who some flew from as far as Tonga just to watch and support me.
The effort the girls put out on the court was amazing as everthing just clicked and went our way. I know there would of been people doubting us as a team on how we would go during the season as we did loose "go to girl" Jo Sutton with a snapped achillies in our first match of the season against Auckland Mystics.
Our start to the season wasn't the best start but once we had a few games up our sleeve we definatley started to understand how to play with eachother and we certainly did in the Grandfinal.
We celebrated that week but the saying goes "there is no rest for the wicked" and that is true! Some of the girls who got selected into the Aussie squad had to go into camp the following week. This camp was the Final selection camp for the commonwealth Games Team so it was very intense.
Now they have picked the 15 players for the Tests series against Jamaica.
As your probably aware the Diamonds won the series 3 zip. Jamaica not having 5 of there gun players made it very obvious they missed them.
After the Jamacian Series and having a week off in our own state doing our own training we then met up in Adelaide to play against the Silver Ferns where the selectors have to cut the 15 to 12.
The Diamonds having a tight physical match against the Silver Ferns got on top of them in the final quater 48-43.
Now for the Wellington match!!!
Stay tuned :)
