Silver Ferns and NZA triallists announced

The lure of wearing the coveted black dress in the inaugural Netball Quad Series and New World Netball Series for the Taini Jamison Trophy will go on the line when 28 Silver Ferns hopefuls go head-to-head at the upcoming trials.

The trials will take place in Auckland from Monday 15 – Tuesday 16 August with the Silver Ferns and NZA teams to be announced on August 17.

12 players will be selected for the Silver Ferns to face the England Roses, South Africa’s SPAR Proteas and the Australian Diamonds in the Netball Quad Series in August.

New Zealand will host the Series opener - a blockbuster double header featuring the Australian Diamonds v SPAR Proteas and Silver Ferns v England Roses at Vector Arena (August 27), before Claudelands Arena hosts the Silver Ferns and SPAR Proteas (August 31), with the Silver Ferns rounding out the Series in Melbourne against the Australian Diamonds (September 4).

A team will also be named for the New World Netball Series for the Taini Jamison Trophy, where the Silver Ferns will face the Jamaican Sunshine Girls in September.

The three-Test Series will see the Silver Ferns play at the Trafalgar Centre, Nelson (September 11), Central Energy Trust Arena, Palmerston North (September 14) and Energy Events Centre, Rotorua (September 17).
