Netball: Eclectic Jamaican team to face Silver Ferns

From Checkpoint, 5:22 pm on 21 September 2022

At Eventfinda Stadium on Auckland's North Shore, a patchwork Jamaican netball side will run out against the Silver Ferns tonight.

Because of some visa issues, Jamaica only flew out here with seven players, but they need 10 to meet the requirements to be a test.

Former Jamaica international Carla Borrego is in New Zealand and has been called into the side. As has Romelda Aiken, who's based in Australia and had a baby five weeks ago.

Rounding out the side is coach Connie Francis, who last played in the team in 2003.

RNZ sports reporter Felicity Reid is at the stadium. She joins Nick Truebridge with the latest.
