Star Saint enters the history books

NOT many netballers reach the 400 game milestone and even less hit that impressive mark with a resume the quality of Rhiannon Christian.

The Saints Netball Club icon is arguably one of the best payers the Mount Gambier Netball Association has ever seen and the player who started as an outstanding talent as a teenager is still the playing coach of the Saints 2025 A Grade team.

She has not just had longevity in her career but she has maintained a high standard of play, setting an example for the coming generations at the club.

Rhiannon (pictured right with her family; pictured below with her team, in action, cutting her milestone cake and being presented with flowers by mum Sam Primmer) is a multiple premiership player across juniors, A2 and A Grade and that tam success has run side-by-side with individual accolades that will long stand in the record books.

She has been Grand Final MVP on eight occasions; taken home 15 club best & fairest honours, been crowned the best player in the Mount Gambier Netball Association nine times and was inducted as a Saints Netball Club life member in 2017.
