This week’s choice of Fairparker of the Week is bound to be a popular one – Danielle Lorkin
And in her words:
After moving across to play at MDNA I flirted with a couple of domestic clubs before finding my netball home at Fairpark, thanks in large part to club legends like Jenny Dennis, Sharon Veto and Rebecca Blias.
I’ve now played over 10 consecutive seasons in A GRADE at the same time as having 3 kids!
I’ve taken on roles such as captain and ‘assistant coach’ to help Jenny and hopefully I use my experience to be a cool and wise head on the court and offer some tips to our much younger and more talented players.
And while my off court contribution is not great, I do like that this nomination shows that Fairpark values what every player contributes on court and it’s nice to know at least one person still sees value in a 38 year old Mum running around the court.
But the best thing about this nomination is that I get to thank all Fairpark players for being a role model to my daughter, because every week she gets to see what it really means to “play like a girl”.
