One of New Zealand's most successful and influential netball coaches, Robyn Broughton has died, after a recent illness.
She's best known as coach of the supremely successful Southern Sting from 1998 to 2007, winning a record seven titles in 10 years.
The side captured the hearts and minds of the Invercargill community and ignited a sense of southern pride.
