#19 Top Ten moments

1. ‘We want Dunn!’ It wasn’t just that the whole arena was in chorus - it was her utter disbelief & humble reaction, that got me. We won’t see her like on an international netball court again
2. Being stopped & asked if I’m ‘Debbie, who writes the Netball blog’?! World Cup made. 
3. #NDCClove meeting up with some of my former colleagues was awesome. Made me appreciate the amazing time we had and the awesome results we achieved, just a little bit more! Shame I didn’t see more of them.
4. Claire Balding’s closing speech was as awesome as it was inspirational. What a women: what a netball advocate! 
5. Jo Harten’s quick turn & long bomb with 0.5 seconds left of quarter 1 v South Africa. Sublime. I think every Roses fan in the arena knew it was going to be our day when that shot went in! 
6. Zimbabwe: the noise, the colour, the surprise package on a netball court. They were the team of the tournament and we were also staying in the same hotel! 4 teams from Africa  in the top 8 of the world: that’s global netball development! 
7. Pivoteers: the unsung heroes of the World Cup! They were everything they should have been and more. Thank you will never be enough! 
8. Pop up Prosecco bar at the arena. My type of event! Even better when they’re serving half pints of the stuff as they’d ran out of ‘proper’ glasses 😉My only disappointment was there was only 1! 
9. Netball family! Whether you were in the arena, piazza, fan park or around the city - you witnessed, on countless occasions old friends meeting up, reminiscing and sharing the World Cup excitement. Shout out to the #Neeks right here! 😘
10. England winning bronze. It wasn’t what we came for but as I have said on countless occasions there were 5 teams in with a shot of winning. We could have ended 5th. After the semi final I think bronze was a relief still to be celebrated.
