100th game looms for Steel manager

You could describe Ascot Park Hotel Southern Steel manager Dayna Kaio’s debut ANZ Premiership netball game as a baptism of fire. In fact, it was her first gig ever as a team manager.

Testament to her logistical prowess and resilient work ethic, she will rack up her 100th match with the franchise against the Te Wānanga o Raukawa Pulse in Wellington on Monday night.

“When I look back now to 2017, I had never even managed a netball team before and now I’m about to hit 100 games. It feels surreal and I’m pretty overwhelmed thinking about it to be honest,” Kaio said.
