Strenuous netball task
The Canterbury netball team has a strenuous day ahead of it today. This morning it plays in the final of the Raro tournament at 11.30, and three,hours later faces the unbeaten England team. An injury last week to Anne Davidson, the accurate Canterbury goal-shoot, gives Dianna Sullivan the chance to play. Sullivan plays a different style to Davidson and although she has practised with the squad, playing an important provincial and
international fixture will place pressure on her, the goal attack Adrianne Prattley, the wing attack, Jan Henderson, and the centre Lynn McLennan. 'England plays a close marking game and has a more aggressive approach than is usually seen from Canterbury. In the one hour game it is usually the third quarter that is vital. It will be here that Canterbury will try to consolidate to give it the chance to be the first New Zealand team to beat the English. .
Canterbury Country -will play South Canterbury in a curtain-raiser to the international, and before that Canterbury Country under-20 will play a Canterbury secondary schools’ team. The schools team, selected’ after a tournament on Saturday is: Stephanie Stokes, Natalie Camp, Tania Ronald (Sacred Heart College); Tina Jones (Villa Maria College); Dianne Brown (Rangi Ruru Girls School); Maria Tippa (Aranui High School); Norma Battes (Hawarden High School); Robin Ede (Ellesmere High School).
