This year marks 100 years of 'Netball New Zealand', the oldest netball association in the world. Marking the occasion, an exhibition 'Our Game: A Century of Netball in Aotearoa New Zealand' opened on 7th September at the Auckland Museum, showcasing the lesser-known histories and stories of the people who shaped netball on our shores.  

The exhibition traces the evolution of netball, from grassroots beginnings to triumphs on the global stage. Dr Margaret Henley is a Lecturer in Communication at The University of Auckland, she's also a Marsden Fund recipient for her work researching the significance of netball in the lives of women in Aotearoa.
