Netball Scoop has an exceptional team of photographers. This year, due to the nature of the season, only Sue McKay (South Australia) and Simon Leonard and Marcela Massey (Queensland) were able to dust off their cameras. Their work was extraordinary, and given the condensed season, a an incredible three month long labour of love.
In this gallery, please enjoy the best of Simon Leonard’s grand final coverage.
A reminder, people are welcome to share the images, but they should be credited to Simon Leonard (copyright owner).
