Great Lead

'Netball is the ultimate team game and Great Lead demonstrates this, with everyone’s roles off court being just as important to the team’s ultimate success as their roles on the court.’
– Liz Ellis, former captain of the Australian netball team and two-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist.

Hayley wants to play netball, but there are not enough girls to form a team. Mum’s got the solution – boys! When three boys put their hands up to play for St Pat’s, the other team is afraid the boys will prove too strong, even if they haven’t got any experience. The local paper stirs things up and Brett thinks he’s leading a small revolution, but Seamus doesn’t want to know. And what’s the thing between Alex and Duncan?

When the team receives their worst blow yet, they wonder if it was all a waste of time. Or was it perhaps the most incredible thing they’ve ever done?
