Subscriber only FOR someone so active on the court and in the community, Beryl Friday has a quieter way to relax. The former national league and current USQ Jets netballer loves painting. In between training, playing, working, studying and coaching, Friday likes to paint anything including ear rings and various artwork. However, her thoughts are never far from playing netball, helping the Brisbane Broncos and studying to be a teacher. The Indigenous achiever currently studies education full-time at Griffith University while working part-time through the Beyond the Broncos Girls Academy program. It is a really good job. It s really rewarding, she said, having a broad interest in helping others.
