Nicholson makes International comeback

Netball - 23 Jun 2000
   
North Harbour's Tania Nicholson has been called into the Vodafone Silver Ferns for the upcoming Fisher & Paykel Series.

The 28-year-old Force goal shoot and goal attack replaces the unavailable Donna Loffhagen and will be part of the team for all five tests - two against Team Pasifika and three against the World 7.

Nicholson made her New Zealand debut against South Africa in 1996, but has not played for the Ferns since then.

'I'm rapt to be given the opportunity,' Nicholson said. 'It's ironic. In the past few years I've just concentrated on enjoying my netball and not worrying about higher honours.

'Playing for enjoyment is a philosophy I'm keen to take into the Fisher & Paykel Series because I seem to be playing better for it.' Vodafone Silver Ferns coach Yvonne Willering said Nicholson was chosen given the selection policy of picking on form.

'Tania had a very strong Coca-Cola Cup, proving to be a mobile goal attack. And her shooting stats were right up there,' she said. 'Having also been a Fern, she's familiar with the environment and I'm sure she'll make a valuable contribution to the team.' Willering said Belinda Colling, a dual international like Loffhagen, was also contacted and considered for selection, but was still not fully fit following recent knee surgery.
