There is a mix of homegrown stars and overseas talent among what is essentially a revamped national women’s basketball league - all told, there are 18 current or former Tall Ferns lining up.
“This is fantastic for our aspiring young players to be mixing with class imports, it’s raising the level,” says Queens coach, former Tall Ferns player and Porirua local Tania Tupu.
She says having basketball of this level at the Arena is exciting.
The Queens’ remaining games at Te Rauparaha Arena are against the Whai on Monday 25 July, Hoiho on Wednesday 3 August and Kāhu on Thursday 18 August.
All games tip off at 7pm and tickets can be purchased at ticketspace.nz or at the door – $5 for children, $20 for adults. The Queens’ lineup, schedule and tickets can be found at queens.nz/schedule

I am a very gorgeous, loveable and confident old girl. I am nicknamed Silent Bob, as I don't meow often. I am currently in foster care with my amazing foster mum and here's what she has to say about me; "Bobbi is a lovely healthy cat with energy and spirit that belies her age and circumstances. She shows a mix of confidence and caution, possibly the result of developing independence at an early age. She is wonderful company without being needy and she eats and drinks well and is fully house trained. She loves to be around, either sitting on my lap or the end of my chair and immediately follows me to bed at night. Although Bobbi is a lap cat, she's not a cuddly cat and likes only a little patting, preferably around head and face. She does also have some indemnities her new family will need to be made aware of, but we can chat about this when you meet her “

I actually talk to my managers now but before I would have been too nervous. It’s helped me gain confidence which is really good. The mentors were great. They had some good ideas and they listened to everyone else’s ideas too. They were so friendly, they always said hi and I felt like they encouraged me to join in the conversation."
