Hutt-Nelson B'Ball Clash
Only in the final five minutes did the Nelson women's basketball team succumb to the powerful Hutt Valley team in their representative match at the Stoke stadium. Hutt won 39-34.
Up goes N.Z. rep. Sharon Rennell in a successful scoring attempt for Hutt. Karen Wright (No. 13), Nelson, and B. Kai, Hutt, wait for the result
Jan Reid, Nelson national rep, leaps high to block this shot from F. Simeon, also a national player
Jan Reid has the ball well under control before making her next move
Top Nelson scorer was Diane Robins who was, at this moment, anxiously watching the flight of one of her shots. The Hutt player (No.6) is Sharon Rennell
Janie Bennett was well contained by the Hutt defence but here she manages to clear the ball over an outstretched G. McLaughlan (No. 5)
