This Girl Does celebrates and highlights the achievements of women in all sports from across the world giving them the kudos they deserve

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@YaThinkN Umpires they now start at “into” level so qualifying can be £10. But match play is a few quid, some clubs can be v little for membership too. Back to netball has been a huge success in getting women into sport and funded to do so

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@jessbee1999 I don’t see her being too afraid to go, I think Karen would encourage her if the chance comes. Hopefully more court time at Thunder, another strong season and in the NWC and reckon she may get an offer.

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@BigredNetball I felt for her in that moment, what she has had to do to keep the team positive through all the mess. She keeps showing up and should hold her head high

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@izzynetball @ZaraTomkiActor Agreed, Tchine has been great but Cardwell v Aus is awesome. But both times too late. Bringing Ella was pointless if not going to use her. We needed mid court with pace and take the physicality.

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@izzynetball @pollyevermore Our margins in 2019 were so small. We could have won the semi final, we had to work to make the semi final this time. We were good enough then but this campaign we were not.

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@ajayc1965 Was that one of Catherine’s first games as I can’t recall seeing her but I’ve not seen all games. Was she maybe not ok to play or something else. Hoping both are ok.

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@IzzyVanB1 I did notice that and I thought that’s really disappointing

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@leeluvzya Yeah can you imagine if she’d been able to play that way.

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@YaThinkN Definitely would hand that medal to SA, those dresses are pretty darn special.

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@mondli_thwala @cazzrhughes If you look at the movement she makes for Uganda, how they feed her then yes she’s asked to play differently. Not that I think Fbirds could play the Ugandan way. It works beautifully for them.

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@mondli_thwala For me it’s the barrier between genuinely being a gold medal hope. Because it doesn’t matter how sensational the defence are, how your shooters can shoot if they can’t get the ball thru the court. So many wasted feeds.

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@YaThinkN Sadly for us there are no medals for dress design. Australia will just have to rely on their netball play (not an area of concern)

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@thundelarralass Yeah I don’t think Stacey is even the slightest deluded she’s coming up against England again.

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@leeluvzya Yes thankfully he’s ok and back with the team. Such a relief

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@IzzyVanB1 So so good. He’s got such a great netball awareness, calls the game, fab insight. Would love him and NIA together

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@YaThinkN Totally agree. I’m not sure it was a Ferns decision more CWG NZ but it matters not, those dresses will not be ones that in decades to come players say yeah now those were our faves…

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@leeluvzya @YaThinkN And that was one area where the Roses had the Diamonds beat today, they didn’t have to keep pulling down their dresses. I realise everywhere else they were severely lacking but at this stage we have to take that minor win…

[thisgirldoes @thisgirldoesuk]

@ChicCaro @kat2801 If she’d got the court time she deserved they could have made the final.
