Cumbrian netball star Helen Housby has brought up a major milestone Down Under.

She has reached 100 Suncorp Super Netball appearances for new South Wales Swifts - and marked the feat with victory.

Housby, in her eighth season with the Sydney club, helped the Swifts to a 77-73 win over Queensland Firebirds in Brisbane.

The England star, from Drumleaning near Wigton, was in strong form in the Swifts' comeback as she landed six Super Shots from seven attempts, and shot at 92 per cent accuracy from one-point range, as her club reached the Super Netball top four.

Earlier this year Carlilsle-born Housby, 29, reached the 100-appearances milestone for England, while last year she was named player of the tournament at the World Cup and also awarded the MBE.
