Sharni started her netball career playing for the Melbourne Kestrels in 2004 until 2006, where she received a scholarship to the Australian Institute of Sport for the 2007 season. Sharni signed for the Melbourne Vixens for the first two seasons of the ANZ Championships before switching to the Adelaide Thunderbirds in 2010.

“It gives us the option to be able to put anyone out there. We ve got a good mix of experience and youth, and hopefully we can bring those youthful players through to play a good season, which will hopefully put them on the path to national honours.” For Southern Steel captain Shannon Saunders, it was her young team’s potential to grow over the course of the season. “We have such a good vibe off the court and we have so much fun, so I m really looking forward to seeing that translate onto the court,” she said. For Mainland Tactix captain Jane Watson it was the fact that her side have held on to six of the seven starters from last year’s grand final loss to the Central Pulse, replacing the lone departee, Temalisi Fakahokotau, with fellow Silver Fern Karin Burger.

The reimagined Australia Diamonds and their new coach have revitalised the national netball team s rebuilding process with a series-levelling 45-36 win against New Zealand at Christchurch Arena.
Liz Watson s first taste of international captaincy was a compelling audition for the permanent gig as coach Stacey Marinkovich s new-look outfit brushed away the rust from their shaky first glimpse in Game 2 of the four-match Constellation Cup campaign.
New Zealand s Silver Ferns will be hoping captain Ameliaranne Ekenasio s calf injury recovers in time for Game 3 on Saturday because she was dearly missed from the home side s shooting circle.
