There has been a changing of the guard at the top of New Zealand netball.

The Mystics' trans-Tasman netball league dream run continues, the Auckland team battling to a 43-42 win over the Magic.

It is hard to believe that Mystics captain Temepara George was once a reluctant leader.

The Northern Mystics finally delivered a 60 minutes of superb netball with a 49-44 win over NSW Swifts.
