The Pacific Netball Series began last, Thursday 3 June, in Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Four teams, Cook Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea and Samoa, are fighting to find out which one is the top Pacific netball nation. The tournament started with a low key opening ceremony followed by the first two round robin games.
In the first game Fiji defeated Samoa (50 - 45) while in the second the hosts, Cook Islands won a close encounter with Papua New Guinea. At one stage the Cooks led by 10 goals but PNG clawed back to trail by just 2 goals at the finish. (59 - 57).
In game three Samoa (world rank 8) met Papua New Guinea (ranked 12). Samoa grabbed an early lead but in this fast and exciting game PNG played with determination and on several occasions the two sides were tied, however at the final whistle it was Samoa with the win 57 - 54. Fiji met Papua New Guinea, Fiji swept to an early lead and finished the first quarter 14-7 ahead. PNG (in red) pulled back three goals in the second quarter but still trailed 24-20 at half time. Both sides scored ten goals in the third quarter (34-30) and in the final session Fiji potted 13 goals while PNG managed 12. The final score was Fiji 42 PNG 42. It was a very good performance by the PNG players who fought right to the final whistle and kept the eventual series winners on their toes.
In the final game of the Pacific netball series the hosts, Cook Islands, met Samoa. The first quarter was close with Samoa ahead by one goal (13-12) but from then on Samoa played steadily while the Cooks struggled to find consistency. At half time Samoa led by 25 goals to 22. In the third quarter the Cook Islands pulled one back (37-35) but Samoa pulled away in the final quarter to win by ten goals (56-46) and gain the second spot in the world championships in Singapore in 2011.

NEW ZEALAND TO TOUR AUSTRALIA IN OCTOBER 2010 
THE All Australian Men’s and Mixed Netball Association are excited to announce the return of international competition to its annual schedule.
After a meeting with the New Zealand Men’s and Mixed Netball Association, the two bodies signed an agreement which will see Australia and New Zealand contest a three-test series across open men’s, mixed and under-23s divisions in Melbourne in October 2010.
New Zealand will host Australia and other nations in an international event in Auckland during October 2011, with the Trans Tasman series resuming in 2012.
AAMMNA president Grant Crocker said the agreement was a positive step that would build on the growing success of the annual Australian Championships.
“This is a significant move by the New Zealand board which will have an incredibly positive impact,’’ Crocker said.
“For the first time in nine years there is a clear and complete pathway for our young players.”
The two countries also discussed potential future tours to England, the US and the Caribbean and involvement with other emerging netball regions.
Saturday before the trans tasman test was a day to remember for some of the Brisbane South Wildcats. Bundled out of the final series was a heartbreak but what better way to bounce back than to share a training session at the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre with the New Zealand team a day before their test match against Australia.
Melissa O’Brien, Coach of Wildcats Tier One, is a long time friend of SilverFerns Coach Ruth Aitken. Ruth made a call to Melissa to gather some players together to mix in with her players for a practice match and what an experience for all concerned. The Ferns were fantastic and great sports. What was considered by some of the players as “Clearly the best day of my life’.
