Fresh start for Diamonds
CAPTAIN Caitlin Bassett says the sting of the Diamonds’ Commonwealth Games loss will lift Australia to new levels when they open their Quad Series campaign against South Africa in New Zealand on Saturday.
Australia fell a goal short in its defence of the Commonwealth Games crown in April, with nine players from the Games 12 returning this weekend.
“There is that of course, the loss, which will motivate us, but it also feels like a fresh start for us because we have three new faces,” Bassett said.
