After three intense games across Adelaide, Sydney and Bendigo it was the Origin Australian Diamonds who continued their reign of dominance with a Test match victory.
Test One at Adelaide’s Entertainment Centre was exactly the start the Diamonds needed with a 13-goal win over the Roses.
Aryang joined Sarah Klau for a new look defensive combination which allowed the Diamonds to find a game winning lead during the second quarter.
Williams had a strong game in Goal Defence, with her maiden season in the Suncorp Super Netball League providing her insight into some Australian game play.
Williams also demonstrated her experienced partnership with Helen Housby when she sent a pass from the centre third into the shooter right under the post.
Test Two proved that the English Roses are just getting stronger and stronger, with the side taking their first win on Australian soil since the Commonwealth Games gold medal match in 2018.
Under the leadership of captain Williams, the Roses were able to clinch that win from a goal-for-goal game leaving Bendigo’s match as the decider.
Aryang’s ability to find those deflections, pickups and intercepts during the third Test just proved how crucial she has become to the side in her 30 capts.
Williams played her hand at both Goal Defence and Goal Keeper continuing to make the Diamonds fight for each and every goal.
Follow along with Fran and the Roses as they go up against the New Zealand Ferns in September and October.
Next up for the Diamonds is their Constellation Cup New Zealand Series with the third match of the Series being held at Perth’s RAC Arena, the first Diamonds match in Perth since 2019.
