World Netball Championship 2011 - Day 3

Another great day of volunteering! Our team worked for three matches in that 2 matches simultaneously.We positioned each one of us in each corner,that means 2 guys per court.Lots of Australian and New Zealand supporters were there.

Australia Vs Northern Ireland

When i entered into the court Australia was playing against Northern Ireland . By far Australians were the best i have seen.They are energetic ,flamboyant and wonderful passers.Their game made huge impact on me.I think that's the way Australians play all the games.Very impressive performance by them.

Cheerful audience..

The Australians showed remarkable sportsmanship, they mingled with the supporters and with the opponent players easily.Very rare to see these characters in Australian Cricket team.I came to know that the Australians are the reigning World Netball Champions.I hope they will be having a good outing this time also.

Singapore Vs South Africa

After the Australia match there were 2 more matches to be played in 2 courts.So we were pretty much busy for the 30 minutes.And the matches started on time .The first match was played between Singapore and South  Africa in Court 1.Both the team had last their previous match.Singapore started brilliantly,everything looked perfect- passes,shots on goal,goal defense. But they started to loose their grip on the lead in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.Again their passes were not accurate and they did not run as they should.South Africa on the other hand played better and their passes were excellent.South Africa won the match quite easily in the end.

Play in progress in both courts

In court 2 ,Malaysia and Malawi fought out. Malaysia from the beginning did not play well and their passes were erratic.Malawians covered the court quite beautifully -they ran and ran.Malawians won the match hands down.
