When God handed out the first set of netball bibs sometime in the first century AD, she decreed that the G in four of the seven positions stood for “goal”. As in Goal shooter. Goal attack. Goal defence. Goal keeper. In modern netball the G might as well stand for other things. Glamour shooter. Glitz attack. Genius defence. Glory keeper. There is no doubt the circle is where is it at on the netball court, and it is goal shooting and goal defending that have won and lost titles in recent times.
