Surprising and swift rise to the top 5:00AM Friday July 04, 2008 By Dana Johannsen - NZ Herald Heading into the inaugural transtasman league NSW Swifts captain Catherine Cox held modest expectations for her side's season. The Sydney outfit had lost a great deal of talent from the previous year, in which they were crowned domestic champions.

Netball crunch time By JANE MARSHALL - The Press | Friday, 04 July 2008 It is a script that ANZ Championship organisers could not have written better if they had tried. Heading into the last weekend of round-robin play, there are still five teams pushing for semi-final spots.
