The Netball community prides itself on being like a family, but there is one team playing in the St George Netball Association semi finals that has really taken this concept to heart.
The Hurstville United Panthers division S4 team consists of family members - four mothers and four daughters, something that that makes it hard to criticize anyone when your team loses.
The family team is Effie Loakimaros and Elana Maros, Sally Mullane and Zoe Mullane, Alecia Doherty and Amber Doherty, Renae Perenara and Lily Perenara.
Managed by Marguirete Goodman, the other team members are, Melissa Henderson, Leanne Patterson, Lucy Waters and Michelle Zervadese.
Sally Mullane said when the mothers started playing together, one by one their daughters signed up.
"That was a good thing because they are faster and agile, but there is no fighting on court - the mothers are always right"
