St Mary's Linda De Ruyter makes it hard for Rata in 1983....

St Mary's beat Rata A in 1983 20-17 which confirmed its placing in the top three in the Invercargill netball senior championships.

St Mary's were down at half time 8-12 but came out firing in the second half and went on a rampage scoring 12 goals to Rata's five.
Linda De Ruyter and Catherine Wyering, the two defences for St Marys made it hard for Rata's Marelda O'Rourke and Judy Wright in the shooting circle.
At the end of the day though it was the great combination of St Mary's Lynne McKenzie and Megan Wills that undid it for Rata.

Glenis Mills ensures Kay Holst has to work for the netball in 1983.

Makarewa were definitely the small fry against Brigadiers with the latter being ahead 14-9 at half time. 
Makarewa not only found it hard to feed the circle but their shoots could not get the ball up once they got it to the circle. It was the Brigadier's defence of Pam Egan and Sue Pomare that kept the pressure up.
Although Brigadiers were the winners 32-20, Makarewa kept their heads up and did not give an inch.
