Proteas seek first victory against world champs Australia
Saturday Star
|July 05, 2025
THE Netball Proteas will be hoping to finally break their duck against world champions Australia when they tour Down Under for a challenging three-Test series in October.
The series will follow hot on the heels of another tough three-Test series for the Proteas against the Silver Ferns in New Zealand in September.
Both tours are part of the Proteas’ preparations for the Commonwealth Games next year in Glasgow and the Sydney Netball World Cup in 2027.
The first match against Australia will take place at Bendigo’s Red Energy Arena on Saturday, October 4.
South Africa and Australia have played each other 46 times, with Australia winning all the Test matches. However, in recent years, South Africa have narrowed the winning margin against the world’s No 1 team. Much of the credit for this went to former Australian head coach Norma Plummer, who enjoyed two spells with the Proteas.
