It s taken a year for seasoned Silver Fern and Mystics shooter Bailey Mes to overcome a stubborn knee injury, but she s ready to take on the netball world again. Turn back the clock just a tick over a year – and the last netball game Bailey Mes played. The dynamic shooter, a veteran of 70 tests for New Zealand, was at the top of her game. She’d come on for the second half of the Silver Ferns’ opening test of the Nations Cup against England in Birmingham, and her stunning performance with Maia Wilson in the Ferns’ victory earned Mes the honour of player of the match.
