About this episode

Jamaican defender Jodi-Ann Ward is back playing Super Netball, 10 months after rehabbing an ACL injury. Last week her bottom-ranked, winless Giants ALMOST beat the No.1 ranked favourites Adelaide Thunderbirds. In the end, they lost by just two goals but there were so many positives to take from the result that they're hoping it will be a turning point for the rest of the season. Ward speaks about her incredible combination with young goal keeper Erin O'Brien and her aspirations of playing at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games this year.
