Netball Proteas give Plummer winning return against Scotland at Tuks

In a first quarter played at a frenetic pace captain Bongiwe Msomi and her teammates were guilty of some stray passing as well as giving possession away somewhat cheaply. Nevertheless, they went into the break 14-10 to the good.

There was more of the same in the second quarter as ball turnover was the order of the 15 minutes, but the Proteas turned up the tempo towards the end with some fantastic passing that saw them pile on the goals. It was not surprising they were leading 27-18 at half time.

They added 20 more goals to Scotland's 12 in the penultimate quarter as the partisan crowd cheered them on vociferously.

They took the foot off the pedal in the final quarter and Scotland outscored them 16-12 but it was too little too late as the Proteas gave Plummer a winning return.
