Originally from south Waikato, the powerfully built Louisa Wall burst onto the scene at a young age.

Primarily a wing defence but with the ability to cover centre, Wall was a strong and determined performer, making her debut for the Silver Ferns at the 1989 World Games in Germany as a 17-year-old.

A strong ball distributor with solid all-round skills, Wall remained a Silver Fern for four years where she was part of the 1989 World Games winning team, the 1990 Commonwealth Games Demonstration Match and the 1991 Netball World Cup.
