More things to do in the rain

I remember netball as being this daft wee game that girls played at school while the rest of us were playing football. But in NZ it's huge. The top players are household names with advertising contracts and one of them picked up something in the Queen's birthday honours yesterday.

So a week or two ago when it was raining (again!) we went along to a game between the Canterbury Tactix and the Central Pulse in the trans-tasman championship.

Canterbury won but other than that I couldn't tell you much about the game but it was a good atmosphere and more importantly the boys were able to shout as loud as they wanted and no-one cared!
