Merivale netballer jumps for joy
Hey neighbours,
Merivale netballer Henrietta Williamson, 8, was walking on air when she met the superstars of netball at Christchurch Arena's Tactix vs Mystics ANZ Premiership game on Monday.
St Margaret’s College student Henrietta won the chance to meet Jane Watson (Tactix) and Sulu Fitzpatrick (Mystics) and lead the teams onto the court as a part of the ANZ Future Captains programme. Best friend nine-year-old Harriet Gough accompanied her.
Henrietta was awestruck seeing the elite teams caught in a tie breaker.
“It was a really exciting game. In the last eight seconds, the Tactix scored a winning goal. I was so excited, I jumped into the air,” she said.
The programme gives 94 young people from Aotearoa the chance to be part of the ANZ Premiership and to meet their netball heroes as an ANZ Future Captain.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
