World Netball Champs

Yet another weekend in Auckland, and another typically kiwi activity: netball. We got tickets to the round robin part of the World Netball Champs. I was so excited to see so much netball live at once, and so many different countries. Of course, there are only a handful of countries who can actually field a decent team, but it was also good to see teams from less well known netballing countries.
So, we saw New Zealand play once, and the fabulous World Champion Australian team play twice. It was really exciting to see the action so close up. Much better than a rugby game I reckon.... We also saw Jamaica, Cook Islands, Samoa, Scotland, Botswana, Malawi, England, Wales and heaps of other countries.
