Diamonds stretch winning streak to 18
A crowd of 2494 filled Bendigo Stadium to watch the Diamonds stretch their winning streak to 18 matches against all
countries with a 55-37 victory, Australia’s biggest victory over England since 2012.
It was the first ever international played in the regional Victorian city and Diamonds defender Sharni Layton said there was a
fantastic atmosphere throughout the match.
“I love this stadium. It’s so close and intimate and so loud. I actually felt like I was in the crowd at some stages,” Layton said.
“It’s great to come out to these regional areas because they’re just so passionate about their netball.”
Wing attack Madi Robinson was named the Player of the Match after finishing with a game-high 14 goal assists.
The Diamonds are now chasing their first international clean sweep since 1999, having won all of their 13 Test matches
played in 2014.
Sargeant welcomed as ’Legend’
Netball doyen Anne Sargeant OAM (Netball) has been formally welcomed as a ‘Legend’ of the NSW Hall of Champions at
the Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre on Monday night.
Sargeant competed at three Netball World Championships with the shooter tasting glory in 1983 in Singapore and in 1979
in Trinidad & Tobago. Sargeant captained the Australian team in Glasgow in 1987 with the Australians finishing second.
Sargeant was involved off the court in 1991, with the shooter commentating at the last Netball World Championships in
Sydney, the last World Championships held on Australian soil. The shooter was behind the microphone at the very venue in
which she was inducted into the Hall of Champions on Monday night, at Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre.
The NSW Hall of Champions is a sport museum and hall of fame which pays tribute to the achievements of NSW athletes
counted amongst the nation’s best. Champion sportsmen and women are celebrated on the ‘Wall of Fame’, along with
great sporting moments and some of the most inspired performances.
Located at the Sydney Olympic Park Sports Centre, the museum features an impressive display of action photographs
highlighting the feats of more than 350 athletes representing 50 different sports.
Each year the peak sporting bodies of NSW are asked to nominate the best sportsmen and women from their discipline for
selection. The Hall of Champions Selection Committee short-lists the nominations for approval by the Minister. The NSW Hall
of Champions induction is the high point of the museum’s annual calendar.
