This is a very nice set of images that really capture the action.

#3 is pretty cool, I like how the two gals almost mirror each other...great timing!

It is a bit of a worry to see all their ankles braced and bandaged, I hope it is more preventative than existing injuries.
Nice set I also like the timing in 3

Thanks for the comments guys - Much appreciated.

Unfortunately the papers send togs to most games and so won't accept shots from anybody else. I've been trying to come up with another place to send them (and get paid for them :mrgreen: ) but no luck so far - Suggestions welcome!

Both - Because of the speed ot the game, Injuries are very common. So lots of players wear ankle braces. The player with the bandage has had a calf problem all year and has missed a few games - she's one of the best shooters in the league so now that it's finals time she's pushing through the injury.

#3 is amazing and your timing was impeccable!Net ball is one of the most difficult of sports to photograph. Is there a net ball magazine you could offer the image to. They might use it as a cover shot?

Thanks Matt - I appreciate the comments.
