Niue schoolgirl scouted
When Niue’s netball team takes to the court today, a 16-year-old school girl will be holding out the defence against the Cook Islands.
Danielle Fuemana is the youngest player in the Niue team and she says she is pumped, proud and ready for action.
Fuemana is attending Auckland Girls’ Grammar School in New Zealand where she plays netball for the school. Recently she got scouted for the Niue team and she hopes she gets to take home a medal.
Fuemana says joining the team has helped her to improve her skills and make new friends with the other team members. She also sees the opportunity in Rarotonga to be a part of something big in the Pacific.
The Niue team is made up of 12 players with the oldest player being 42 years old. They play the home side today at 4pm at the Telecom Sports Arena in Nikao.
Last month two players from AGGS were involved in the World Youth Netball Championships in Rarotonga – Kayla Cullen for New Zealand, and Alana Smith for the Cook Islands. - Tiare Ponini: Cook Islands News
