The New South Wales Swifts, in Queenstown for a pre-season tournament prior to the ANZ Championships, took time out this afternoon (Sunday 22 February) to enjoy a jetboat ride on the iconic Shotover Jet.
The team, which won the ANZ Championship last year, flew into Queenstown on Thursday for a three-day tournament at the Queenstown Events Centre which showcased some of the world’s best netball players.
Hosted by local team the Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel, the Swifts also faced teams the Northern Mystics, Central Pulse and the Australian Institute of Sport. The Swifts won four of their five games, losing to the Northern Mystics this morning.
NSW Swifts Head Coach Julie Fitzgerald said the team had enjoyed their time in the resort town and hopes they will return for the pre-season tournament next year.
“The whole trip has whetted our appetites for Queenstown. It’s the most beautiful place in the world. We all can’t wait to come back.”
“The Shotover Jet was a great activity to do as a team.” Julie said. “It has been an awesome experience, so much fun!”
