MONDAY, 11.00AM:
THE South African Protea women’s netball team beat the Australian Institute of Sports 60-54 in Perth on Saturday, in their last match before they face the World Champions Australia in the third and final Test match on Wednesday.
Team manager Lorraine Lewis said: “The team played a more relaxed game. It has given a crucial psychological boost to the girls ahead of their Test match on Wednesday.”
The Proteas have lost both Test matches so far — the first one in Brisbane 65-48 last Tuesday, and the second in Melbourne last Friday, 71-49. Defender Annie Klopper was injured in the game on Sunday, and will return home early.
