Netballers

About this image

DescriptionI have found this old photo of a trio of netballers but have no information accompanying it. Can anyone identify the women in the photo and of course the location. My mother June Grieve was a keen player and played with (from memory) Monica Pragnell and Nancy McTaggart but I don't think either are in the photo.

Mary Moffitt Tamara M. Chisenhall Basket ball for women only, which is now called Netball, was really quite unlike the present game in several ways.
Changes were:-
1. Nine players per team changed to seven.
2. Court areas for play changed, eg players less restricted to bases.
3. Roles more defined.
4. Game became much faster.
5. Men enabled to form teams.
Others will be able to note many more changes. It's quite a different game.
