Dream Diamonds return for Pettitt

NSWIS netballer Susan Pettitt made an exceptional return to the Australian Diamonds team with a superb performance in the team’s year opening victory over the New Zealand Silver Ferns.

In her first international appearance since 2013, Pettitt was named Most Valuable Player after her unerring shooting guided the diamonds to a 57 goals to 50 victory.

Pettitt said, It’s nice to be back in the green and gold. It’s been a long time since the last game. I’m very happy to be here and also with the performance from all the girls tonight.”

The victory set up the Diamonds well for further matches against South Africa and England in the quad series.
