1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Gives us a chance to turn to netball and celebrate

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,160
Speaker 1: one of the most intense on court battles I've witnessed

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: in a long time. Last night Mount Summers taking the

4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: top tier of Premier Netball forty three forty two. It

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: couldn't have been tied her over Celtic captain, slash coach,

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: slash all round to Kate Oliver.

7
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: Congratulations, Oh, thank you very much.

8
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: So yes, it started with Celtic. You're going into the

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: first quarter seventeen eleven, and then all of a sudden

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: you surged back twenty three all at the half, thirty

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: seven thirty one, you led at three quarter time and

12
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: then yeah, that final goal at the end. Who's your goal? Shoot?

13
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: Because as I was watching there was sort of like

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: a turnover forced in the dying minutes and then with

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: nerves of steel, you managed to seal the deal. Who

16
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: was that?

17
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: That's Renee McDonald. Yes, she's come to us from Giordane

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: Actually wow. So yeah, she was a great asset to

19
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: the team for the years.

20
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: You've really been the dark horse side of the season.

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: We're you know, some other sides are in with regular

22
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: training and whatnot. I hear that for the most part,

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: you just rock up. Although a large core of Mount

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: Summers are involved with netball down and Timaru, right, so

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: that must help.

26
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: Yes, we've got three players, actually three who play competition

27
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 2: down There is a pretty busy ladies three times a

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: week playing netball training. But yeah, the core of us

29
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: just yeah, don't quite have time to fit in a

30
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 2: training so we rely on our on our heads and

31
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: our hopeful skill, hopefully skills from the past and come together.

32
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 1: And perhaps the motivation of a pep talk. What wasn't

33
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: it that green machine or a formidable outfit as we know,

34
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: what were you telling yourselves into this?

35
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: I would just need to play simple netball really, you know,

36
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: some of us have old bodies, so simple and use

37
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: your mind rather than try and use your speed, which

38
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: I think worked. It might have just slowed the game

39
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: down a bit and seem to work for us throughout

40
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: the season.

41
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: Did you have a like a strong support? I mean

42
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: I could almost hear the noise from from the other

43
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: side of town, like you had a few supporters in

44
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: the bleachers.

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,000
