Go Steel! Go Steel! Go Steel! Go Steel!

Tonight (Sat) should be earmarked as night that our team, The Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel returns to its rightful position as New Zealand Premier Netball champions.

The Steel play the Northern Mystics in Auckland.

The trip to the big smoke is just reward for beating the Mainland Tactix twice in the past two weekends to reach the finals.

And it's more than just reward after spending a few seasons in the wilderness so to speak after years of absolute dominance under the guidance and coaching genius of the late Robyn Broughton.

Step forward head coach Wendy Frew. From player (and later captain) to head coach of The Steel.

Wendy Frew captained The Steel to win the ANZ Netball Premiership back in 2018.

She has been meticulous in getting the right players into a tight team framework and winners on the court.

Wendy Frew told The Southland Tribune that "its a huge honour to get the franchise to the finals and just excited what this group can produce."

The Steel and Mystics have met twice through the round robin phase with each side winning a game a-piece.

Tonight's ANZ Netball Premiership final at Trusts Arena, West Auckland, gets underway at 7 this evening.

Go Steel. Go Steel. Go Steel. Go Steel.
