Subscriber only AS excitement builds about the return of Ipswich netball competition, a proverbial master is ready to give her apprentice a chance to shine. When one of Ipswich s most successful administrators was approached by an energetic successor, she knew it was time to stand aside. Gail Lyne has devoted more than 50 years to the sport, including 24 as Ipswich Netball Association (INA) president. Lyne was fittingly recognised with a Service to Sport accolade at the 2017 Queensland Sports Awards. However, when Nicole Virtue offered to lead the 10-member management committee, Lyne happily stood down at the recent AGM. Having worked in various roles with Virtue for 11 years, Lyne was delighted to be making a 2021 leadership changeover.
