Fashioned to include a majestic bird featuring the colours of SANZEA’S inaugural four nations, it is a symbol of beauty, flight, power, strength, precision, and movement with grace and breadth (wing span), wisdom and experience (all seeing). Named Victorious, she takes her influence from an eagle - a recognised symbol of vision, leadership and strength. The association with a bird of prey of such power and dominance, beauty and grace; the sleek lines represent Victorious’ intelligence, ability to soar and keen sight. She is seen as a visionary who is willing to push the limits of self and team and is summoned when about to embark on a challenge – the challenge of the Netball Quad Series. 5 5 MEDIA ACCREDITATION TEAMS MONDAY 14 JANUARY, 2019 Venue: Echo Arena, Liverpool, England DIGITAL Broadcast: SKY Sport Silver Ferns v England Roses CHANNELS First Centre pass: 7am (NZT) /SilverFernsNZ @SilverFernsNZ SUNDAY 20 JANUARY, 2019 @SilverFernsNZ Venue: Copper Box Arena, London, England /SilverFernsTV Broadcast: SKY Sport silverferns.co.nz Silver Ferns v Australian Diamonds #SilverFerns First Centre pass: 5:30am (NZT) #QuadSeries MONDAY 21 JANUARY, 2019 Venue: Copper Box Arena, London, England Broadcast: SKY Sport Silver Ferns v South Africa Proteas First Centre pass: 4:30am (NZT) 6 SILVER FERNS // PROFILES KARIN BURGER GINA CRAMPTON AMELIARANNE EKENASIO Positions: GK, GD, WD Positions: WA, C Positions: GS, GA DOB: 12/04/93 DOB: 07/12/91 DOB: 11/01/91 Player Number: 171 Player Number: 164 Player Number: 157 Test Caps: 2 Test Caps: 23 Test Caps: 22 Debut: 15/09/18 Debut: 09/10/16 Debut: 08/10/14 vs England Roses vs Australian Diamonds vs Australian Diamonds MARIA FOLAU CASEY KOPUA LAURA LANGMAN Positions: GA, GS Positions: GK, GD Positions: C, WD, WA DOB: 18/02/87 DOB: 19/06/85 DOB: 16/04/86 Player Number: 134 Player Number: 135 Player Number: 133 Test Caps: 135 Test Caps: 101 Test Caps: 148 Debut: 13/11/05 Debut: 14/11/05 Debut: 12/03/05 vs Jamaican Sunshine Girls vs Barbados vs England Roses ERENA MIKAERE KIMIORA POI SAM SINCLAIR Positions: GK, GD Positions: C, WA Positions: C, WA, WD DOB: 09/07/88 DOB: 01/11/97 DOB: 05/06/95 Player Number: Player Number: Player Number: 165 Test Caps: Test Caps: Test Caps: 32 Debut: Debut: Debut: 28/01/17 vs Australian Diamonds SILVER FERNS // PROFILES 7 WHITNEY SOUNESS JANE WATSON MAIA WILSON Positions: WA, C Positions: GK, GD Positions: GS DOB: 12/10/95 DOB: 07/03/90 DOB: 21/09/97 Player Number: 167 Player Number: 160 Player Number: 163 Test Caps: 3 Test Caps: 26 Test Caps: 9 Debut: 26/08/17 Debut: 27/08/16 Debut: 14/09/16 vs SPAR Proteas vs England Roses vs Jamaican Sunshine Girls ASSISTANT COACH // Deb Fuller SILVER FERNS TEAM MANAGER // Dee Leggat CO STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COACH // Stephen Hotter NOELINE TAURUA PHYSIOTHERAPIST // Mark Overington COACH PERFORMANCE ANALYST // Hayden Croft Test Caps as at 1 December 2018 C Captain VC Vice-Captain CO Coach D Debut M Most Test Caps 8 8 WITH THANKS TO OUR PARTNERS 8 /SilverFernsNZ @SilverFernsNZ @SilverFernsNZ /SilverFernsTV silverferns.co.nz.
