Waikato-Bay of Plenty Zone has named a stack of Gisborne netball players for the Magic in the Making development camps.

The Gisborne players have been named in the third cluster of four, to attend a selection session in Tauranga at the city’s Netball Centre on October 28 from 9am-1pm.

The players have been invited to register for the event by October 1.

Those chosen are Ahenata Cotter-Luke, Aio-Bebe Hollis, Te Atahuia Matahiki from Te Kura o Manutuke, Georgina Moeke of Tolaga Bay Area School, Jaimee Rika, Kassie Owen, Kohine Aupori, Natasha Porter, Piper Glass-Donaldson and Saige Brown all from Gisborne Girls’ High School.

Magic in the Making player invitees have been viewed from approximately 60 school teams and 25 representative teams at various tournaments and events over the last few months by the Netball WBOP Pathways team.

The other clusters contain players in Hamilton, Rotorua and Otorohanga.

The purpose is to offer a Netball WAIBOP development opportunity for invited players and to view Years 10-12 players for National Development Camp nominations.
