Spoilt for choice, Samason chooses life in NZ after tough 2023

THE relationship between Australian and New Zealand netball has always been idolised in the eyes of international viewers. From 2008 to 2016 there was the ANZ Championships, which saw five Australian and five New Zealand teams compete week in, week out.

Lightning cause upset of the season over Vixens

THE Sunshine Coast Lightning have pulled off the upset of the season, defeating the Melbourne Vixens 71-58, handing the Vixens their first loss of the season.
