Australian Diamonds

The year was 1938. And on 20 August, at the All Australia Carnival in Melbourne, seven women walked onto a netball court to play the New Zealand national team. It was the world’s first international netball match.
    
Australia won that first game 40-11 (but who’s really counting…) and it set the tone for future of Australian netball. Nobody knew it at the time, but the spirit of the Diamonds had just begun.
