Sprained fingers

The most common injury in Netball, after ankles and knees! And I've slightly sprained my right-hand ring-finger (oxymoron?). You should see me type! Haha hard for someone who touch types

AND we didn't even win netball! Haha Oh well, my shooting was pretty good. I'm not a shoot ordinarily. When playing outdoor netball I play WA (wing attack).
You can't really see my bib here, and we don't wear this sort of bib. But just a bit of cheeky drinking/writing on arms/street fire for our Netball initiation! Haha. This is dress is not flattering at all! After seeing these pictures I've not worn it.

This is a real WA receiving a pass beautifully lol

For those of you who don't really know much about netball, my role is to get the ball to the shooters, along with the centre. The defences' job is to stop the shooters receiving the ball and shooting a goal.

Like this, but with a ball, not a balloon lol preferably not this drunk either lol

Anyway, we started playing indoor when I was in first year at uni, and I played defence (badly!) and sometimes shoot (even worse than defence). But then our shooter left and we had no one to take her place. So I just had to learn. And I did! Now I have a 70 - 80% rate, often higher which is really really cool. The other week one of the opposition said "mark her! She's their main shooter!" and secretly I was like hehehe I never used to be! I am looking forward to getting back to WA for outdoor though!
I'd like to say the most important thing about netball is meeting up with friends... but I'm too competitive lol It's about fitness, challenging yourself, improving and WINNING and then catching up with friends lol


My two favourite netball mates :)
