Silver Ferns thrash the South Africans!!

The Silver Ferns clashed with the South Africans on the 28th of October for the 2012 Quad Series. The Sliver Ferns had a slow start with their top line up, not getting a goal for five minutes!


They had a five goal lead in the first quarter and second and third but in the fourth they stepped up their game and won 63-24!!! The score was good enough for Wiamarama.


It was a great game with both teams going hard though South Africa needed to go harder. The South Africans just needed to step up their game and be stronger and more dominant.


The Silver Ferns were trying to be better than they were when they versed England and won 57-35!! They get further and had a great game! Lets hope they will beat Auzzie tonight!

Jane's boss then failed to carry out the right steps to fire Jane, Judge Barry Travis said "Draders bad behaviour was so significant that compensation was not warranted, in spite of essential failures in her dismissal process." Jane admitted  that she had rang the client and threatened her. She got sacked in the end though.
