Suncorp Super Netball Season 2 is up and running. Here's a cheat sheet of fast facts to impress your mates with the next time netty enters the discussion.
EIGHT The big topic of discussion in netball following the recent Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast: while designed to strengthen the Australian game, there was a mighty fine handful of English players in last year’s Super Netball comp, including Helen Housby at the Swifts and compatriots Jo Harten and Serena Guthrie, who ply their trade at the Giants, as well as the inaugural player of the year Geva Mentor. England did win gold at the Comms … make of that what you will …
NINE There are a few reasons the stands are always packed whenever you see highlights of netball games on television. One of those is that the on-court product is of the best standard of netball on the planet. The other could be ticket prices. Kids can enter arenas across the county for as little as $5. Adult prices start at $20, concessions from $10, while you can take the family for as little as $40.
TEN This year’s Suncorp Super Netball playing group is making Australian sporting history, appearing in a set of 2018 trading cards – the first series of Australian sporting cards to focus specifically on female athletes. Each of the league’s 80 players features on her own card. There are also cards dedicated to Australian Diamonds players and Liz Ellis Award-winning players. As well, rare #TeamGirls augmented reality cards can be found in four out of every five packs, which allow fans to scan the cards with a smartphone to unlock a video featured on the card of the athlete.
