Netball: Silver Ferns warm up

The New Zealand netball team will warm up for their tour of South Africa with a three-game series against New Zealand A, starting with a lunchtime game at the Otara Recreation Centre today.

Among the New Zealand A players with a point to prove to Silver Ferns coach Yvonne Willering is experienced mid-courter Anna Rowberry, who has been dumped for the South African trip.

The teams will play two more matches, at the Allan Brewster Centre in Papatoetoe tomorrow and Thursday nights, with all games open to the public.

Silver Ferns: Irene van Dyk, Tania Nicholson, Adine Harper, Belinda Colling, Jenny-May Coffin, Lesley Nicol, Sheryl Clarke, Anna Veronese, Bernice Mene, Linda Vagana, Vilimaina Davu.
