A rallying cry from the Northern Mystics captain to her troops, with their ANZ netball Premiership title defence on the line

A rallying cry from the Northern Mystics captain to her troops, with their ANZ netball Premiership title defence on the line

28 June 2024

The champions have slipped out of the top-three finals places, with four games to go - following Monday's tough home loss to the Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic.

Mystics skipper Michaela Sokolich-Beatson says their heavy injury list and players playing out of position is no excuse.

Midcourter Peta Toeava is set to join her Silver Ferns teammate, shooter Grace Nweke , in returning to action on Sunday, but with limited minutes.

The Mystics visit the top-of-the-table Mainland Tactix - who've dropped just one game all season.
