“Congratulations to her on the birth of her child. She has taken a break to give birth, she’s now fought her way back into the team”

Koster says her return will boost the team in the upcoming Pacific Games.

In addition, hosting warm-up matches with the Australian teams, the South Coast Blaze and Sunshine Coast Thunder, has been instrumental in preparing the team for the Pacific Games.

The games will take place from the 19th of next month until December 2nd.
