Individual performance of the season:
Amanda Langerak
Round 6 vs Razors
In a game where Maria dominated the mid court. Langerak went one better and did something that hasn’t been done before or since and might never be done again. Shooting the lights out with 24 shots made 2 shots missed. Including not missing in the second half. That’s the kind of numbers that international netball players put up. You’ve heard me bang on about this night multiple times but I was just so amazed by those numbers and that performance.
