South Africa is fast gaining international recognition for its netball talent, according to national team player Bongiwe Msomi, who has just returned from competing in the England Netball Super League with the Surrey Storm. Msomi is one of three South Africans who have played in the Super League this year. Karla Mostert and Lenize Potgieter are currently playing for Team Bath.Msomi has just returned from a seven-match stint with the Storm. She would have remained with the team but for visa issues and British regulations regarding overseas players. Super League is busy trying to clarify these issues.But Msomi says the experience was invaluable in terms of not only her own playing career, but also the realisation that South African netball is on the right track."It was an awesome experience. Every player wants to play at that level. It was great being exposed to a different style of netball and other coaches. They have said they want me back for the next season when they have sorted these issues out," said Msomi.At last year's Netball World Cup in Australia, the Spar Proteas beat Wales and were beaten 62-46 by England. Msomi says the country's performances at the World Cup caught the attention of the world's leading coaches."My coach at Surrey Storm, Tamsin Greenway, said she was amazed by what we are doing in South Africa. They do see us as a growing force in world netball."Msomi believes the vision to grow the local Brutal Fruit Netball Premier League into a full professional league is a vital step in the development of the sport."That's what our players need. I think we're on the right track here and we just need to keep growing it."..
