GIANTS Defender Jane Watson will return to the side for Sunday’s round 14 clash, lining up for the first time since being sidelined with injury in round four.
The inclusion of the former Silver Fern comes in what will be a special occasion, with Watson set to play the final game of her professional netball career after announcing her retirement earlier this week. A respected leader both on and off the court, Watson’s return provides a timely boost of experience for the GIANTS in her farewell appearance.
Midcourter Amy Sligar will miss Sunday’s clash as she continues to recover from a non-netball related hand injury sustained last week.
Training Partner Audrey Little will remain in the game day squad, retaining her place after stepping in for Sligar in round 13.
