In the weekend my netball team played Valley Ferns and drew 14 all. It was a great game and we all played really well.

INTRO

I am doing Casey Kopua and Laura Langman because I love netball as my sport and I want to be a professional netball player. Casey and Laura are both JJ role models to me.

Teams

Casey and Laura played together in the WBOP (Waikato Bay of Plenty) Magic. They both played for a long time but then Laura decided to go and play for the Northern Mystics. They both play for the Silver Ferns and have played over 50 games for them and they still play.

Captains

Laura and Casey have both captained the Silver Ferns more than 5x times each. There are other people that have captained the Silver but Casey and Laura have captained them more. They both are good captains.  To be a good captain you have to be a person that is strong, supportive and has a laugh with their team.

World netball series

Casey and Laura have both been to the Commonwealth Games and won some gold and some silver medals at the netball champions and they had some great games.

In the weekend my netball team played Kurow and lost 14 to 21. We had a good game but unfortunately we lost. I played WA and GA, everyone said that I did good at shooting and I think that I did well. After that my mum had to play, in the meantime I got asked to play for St Kevin's because they didn't have enough players. In that game I played GS and GA. The GK said " Can we have her in every game I love her shooting." But the coach told her to calm down.
