Williams to miss Fast5 World Netball Series

Captain Casey Williams will miss the inaugural 2012 Fast5 World Netball Series 9-11 November to make further progress in the rehabilitation of her left knee.

Fast5 Ferns coach Waimarama Taumaunu confirmed Te Huinga Reo Selby-Rickit will be called into the team of ten to replace Casey Williams.

“It’s great to be able to have Te Huinga Reo available for Fast5 she provides the team with another valuable defensive option”, she said.
