Description

Southern Sting. The Team that Inspired a Region by Ian Dougherty. 'It was one of the teams deemed least likely to succeed in the glitzy new netball franchise competition launched in 1988, but it succeeded way beyond anyone's expectations. In the process, the Southern Sting captured the hearts and lifted the spirits of the region that had suffered decades of having the stuffing knocked out of it. Fans queued for two days and two nights to buy tickets to Stings games. Conservative Southlanders donned tinsel wigs in the team's green and blue colours and went wild. Blokes in pubs and smoko-rooms talked knowingly about Robyn's team selections, Bernie's intercepts and Donna's shooting stats. Thousands lined the streets of Invercargill for end-of-season victory parades.' The book has light general wear and remains tight and bright.
