Waikato Magic sign key midcourters
Jul 9, 2014 - 10:57 PM Midcourters Grace Rasmussen and Courtney Tairi have signed for another season of trans-Tasman netball with Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic.The pair was among nine new faces who lined up for the Magic this season, coach Julie Fitzgerald exceeding expectations in guiding the team to third.
Fitzgerald says Tairi and Rasmussen built a solid midcourt partnership this season, but there was still room for improvement.
"Their partnership in the midcourt has come together well and they complement each other on court," she said.
"It takes time to develop the understanding of great attacking units and I feel we now have that opportunity with their return."
Rasmussen and Tairi join key defender Casey Kopua as Magic's signings so far for next year's roster.
