The Biggar ace reflects on Scotland's 10th place finish in South Africa earlier this month
Emily Nicholl says finishing 10th at the netball World Cup is only the beginning for this group of Scottish Thistles stars on the world stage.
That Australia beat England 61-45 on Sunday to win the tournament speaks volumes for how well the Scots did, leaving Nicholl proud. “It’s really intense with the scheduling, so it’s mentally and physically quite draining, but as a group we’re really connected, so it was a really positive experience, overall.“Even against England and Australia, I saw our young attackers put in amazing ball, and for the future that’s a really promising sign.

We really cut that margin down by about 15 goals.“Every time we come up against Wales we want to beat them, and we actually had really good stats against them this time.
“Being in that leadership position is challenging,” said Nicholl. “Tamsin [Greenway, head coach] expects a lot from us, and there are a lot of emotions to manage, whether positive or the group maybe needs rallied round, depending on results.
