Attitude and skill execution will be key targets for Waikato/Bay of Plenty Magic when they put their form to the test in three ANZ Championship pre-season warm-up netball games this week.
A who’s who of New Zealand netball were on hand to watch Kia Magic stalwart Casey Williams exchange vows with her partner of two years lawyer Terry Kopua in December.
After a breakthrough season with the Magic in 2012, Australian import Khao Watts is delighted to be back for a second campaign.
Last year the South Australian rookie, who paid her own way to attend Magic’s final pre-selection trial, continued to blossom after being thrust into the challenging wing attack role.
The underdog’s tag will sit just fine with veteran defender Leana de Bruin when a new era unfolds for Kia Magic in next year’s ANZ Championship netball competition.
