Parliamentary victory celebration for Silver Ferns to be held 'in coming months'

July 23, 2019

The former coach says that this morning's win will also benefit men's netball.

Sports Minister Grant Robertson says a welcome home reception will be held for the World Champion Silver Ferns in the "coming months".

Given a number of players and coach Noeline Taurua are not returning to New Zealand immediately the public will have to wait to show their appreciation with the team in person.

Taurua won’t have much time to celebrate her World Cup win, as she is coaching her club side in Australia on Saturday.

"We really want to celebrate our world champion Silver Ferns properly," Mr Robertson said on Twitter.

"Given that Noeline and many of the players are not coming back for a while, we will host a welcome home reception at Parliament in the coming months when they are all back home."
