Corban Piper's year just keeps getting better. The Wellington Phoenix striker has scored in his side's opening two matches of the A-League season and has been rewarded with a maiden All Whites call-up. Piper was lost for words when coach Darren Bazeley rung to tell him he was in the squad for two home matches against India next month. He told Piney time almost stopped for him when he got the call. "It's been a goal since I was a kid, and I think it's any footballer's goal." Piper says it was a surreal moment. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Netball was dealt another blow after Netball New Zealand made the decision not to go ahead with Ali Williams and Anna Mowbray's proposal for a privatised domestic league. The governing body has turned down multiple requests for interviews seeking the reasoning behind the decision. Netball Players Association General Manager Pippa Moore told Piney they haven't received much in the way of communication from Netball New Zealand, having found out the news second and thirdhand. She says they haven't been able to connect with the body directly, with the little communication they've had being very light on details. Moore says neither she nor the players are confident there will be a domestic competition next year. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
