Now is the time for the netball Proteas to shine

The Spar Proteas have their best chance in 25 years of winning a medal at the netball World Cup in Liverpool, which starts on Friday.Speaking on the eve of the team’s departure for the UK, head coach Norma Plummer said the Proteas had shown tremendous growth since she started coaching them shortly before the World Cup in Sydney in 2015. She was quietly confident they could win a medal.

“We have six players in the Suncorp Super Netball league in Australia, which is the most competitive league in the world. Karla Pretorius and Phumza Maweni have been playing together for Sunshine Coast Lightning and have developed into the best defensive unit in the competition. PRIMED FOR PRESSURE Proteas captain Bongiwe Msomi and coach Norma Plummer are ready to prove their mettle.

“The Wales series is very important,” said Plummer. “It will give me a chance to assess the players and see what we need to work on, and it also gives the players some match time ahead of the World Cup.”“This is the best possible team. I look for talent, and these players are all very gifted.”
