Nankivell is the queen of the court

Former Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara Netball Association junior Maisie Nankivell has reached the pinnacle of Australian netball as part of the Adelaide Thunderbirds drought breaking 2023 Super Netball grand final victorty. Part of the Thunderbirds leadership group, Maisie (picured above right celebrating) spent her on court time in the tense overtime decider at wing defence – her tight checking and relaibility with ball in hand, key to her role, often at the tail end of each quarter. Her ability to apply pressure but be so composed when the pressure was on was key to the Thunderbirds ultimate succes.
