Young player nets winning opportunity

Young netballer Lily May Bayley won the opportunity to meet some top netball players at the Mystic vs Pulse ANZ Premiership game last month.

The 10-year-old Stanmore Bay School student and her nine-year-old cousin, Kenzie Taito, met the players on court at The Trusts Arena before the game on June 20. She was “excited and nervous” to meet Mystics captain Sulu Fitzpatrick and Pulse captain Clare Kersten, and lead the teams onto the court as part of the ANZ Future Captains programme.

Lily May plays for her school and Netball North Harbour. She was ecstatic when her favourite team, the Mystics, took the win. She also got a poster signed by the team and photos with the players.
