The Spar Proteas are into the Netball World Cup semifinals. Judging by the way the team has carried itself on the court every night in Liverpool, their place there never looked in doubt.

For South African sport it’s finally an opportunity to go deep in major-team competition this year. It’s been a long winter: Banyana Banyana crashed out of France; the Proteas cricket team fell flat in England and Bafana painfully couldn’t crack the Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinals.

With highly athletic captain Bongi Msomi at wing attack, the Proteas will always fancy themselves in such situations and indeed she proved the difference as the Cranes were overrun 19-4 in the last period. Goal shooter Lenize Potgieter and goal attack Maryka Holtzhausen ensured they didn’t waste Msomi’s passing and retained constant attacking pressure by putting up great shooting stats of 93.6% and 91.3%, respectively.

Plummer has been instrumental in the establishment of the country as a netballing force over the past four years.
