Lyn Parker (above) and Margharet Matenga (below) were vital cogs in a smooth functioning New Zealand netball team which confirmed its high international ranking with its victory in the World Games tournament in London in August. Parker captained New Zealand to its win in the final against the world champion, Australia, 39-37, while the vastly experienced Matenga was again a key figure in the shooting attack. All the world’s leading netball countries competed in the World Games, and before beating Australia in the exciting final, New Zealand had accounted for Scotland, 39-8, Jamaica, 35-31, England, 34-29, and Northern Ireland, 52-15.
