Monday night was a momentous evening for the W+K women's netball team. For the first time ever they didn't lose a game of netball. Admittedly, they didn't win either. But they did avoid defeat by claiming a well deserved draw.
It was my first time supporting the team, so I wisely took my hound for luck. Of course we'll never know if it was the hound that made the difference and helped the team claim their first draw, but several of the players did walk up to me following the game and say "I think it was the hound that made the difference, and helped us claim our first draw".
Following the final whistle the we turned off the floodlights and took as weird a picture as possible to capture the historic moment.
I have a feeling the team will defeat every opponent it meets from now on, and several of the players may even be asked to represent their countries. But that's the future – for now they're just basking in their draw.
Well done netball women. Myself and the hound salute you.
