Steel Dominant in First Hit Out
The Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel blitzed the opposition in its first pre-season hit-out in Christchurch at the weekend – to the satisfaction of coach Robyn Broughton.
In dominant form, the Steel were unbeatable against fellow ANZ Championship side the Canterbury Tactix and the visiting Eastwood Ryde – a New South Wales state team invited along to inject some Australian style. On Saturday, the Steel proved too tough for the Tactix, posting a healthy 56-40 victory after leading 12-11, 30-19 and 43-30 at each quarter. READ MORE

Inspirational attacker Megan Dehn will lead the Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel in its pursuit of the 2010 ANZ Championship silverware.

“It was a bit of a shock ... there's so many experienced girls in our team,” she said.

“I think it's going to be a really good partnership,” Dehn said.
