Round 7 of the ANZ Premiership (ANZP) took place this weekend, live and on demand on NetballPass, Sky Sport and TVNZ, with Steels one goal win keeping their top three hopes alive.
Here is this week’s International Player Watch:
Magic vs Mystics
Mystics and Magics faced each other for the second time in just six days in Round 7 of the ANZP, with Mystics once again victorious.
Mystics won by just two last time out, but this week’s performance was much more consistent and controlled as they won all four quarters, and the game 51 – 63.
Silver Fern Catherine Hall’s ability to win ball was unmatched, as she made four interceptions and two deflections, whilst in the midcourt Mystics controlled play well, maintaining possession and taking the ball to goal with ease.
