Our South Zone Emerging Talent team heads to Queenstown this Sunday for the second match of their three-game series against Mainland Emerging Talent. The girls are looking forward to another opportunity to test themselves against quality opposition as they continue their development journey.

The team is led by Head Coach Rachel Stead, alongside Assistant Coach Hemaima Eichstaedt, who continue to support and challenge our next generation of South Zone athletes.

We would love to see plenty of support for the team if you're in the area! 💙💗

A great start for our METS team last week, taking a 58–50 win over South Zone at Craighead Diocese School. In front of a fantastic South Canterbury crowd, our Pathway athletes delivered an exciting, high‑quality game of netball. Proud of how our METS athletes represented Mainland on and off the court, and a big thanks to Head Coach Krissy Griggs and Manager Cath Mulligan for their positive leadership.
