Elite goal-shoot­er Saman­tha Wal­lace is back in Aus­tralia.

T&T's lead­ing net­baller emerged from quar­an­tine and head­ed to the court to link with her New South Wales Swifts team­mates to be­gin prepa­ra­tion for the May 1 start of the Sun­corp Su­per Net­ball (SSN) League.

"I just came out of quar­an­tine on Sun­day, and straight in­to train­ing on Mon­day," said told Guardian Me­dia Sports on Mon­day. "Train­ing was re­al­ly awe­some. I'm just glad to be back!"

She ad­mit­ted that she was a bit tired and her body sore af­ter her first ses­sion but the 27-year-old is thrilled to be back down un­der and an­tic­i­pates an­oth­er fine sea­son with the Swifts, a five-time cham­pi­on in the 20-year-old league.

"This is my fifth sea­son and def­i­nite­ly look­ing for­ward to ac­tu­al­ly play­ing net­ball, to be hon­est, and ac­tu­al­ly, we will have a crowd so that will be ex­cit­ing," said the T&T Olympic Com­mit­tee (TTOC) "Fu­ture Is Fe­male" award re­cip­i­ent.

In Oc­to­ber, Wal­lace, a two-time club "Most Valu­able Play­er" and 2019 Grand Fi­nal best-on-court re­cip­i­ent, re-signed with the Swifts af­ter a sea­son ham­pered by the on-go­ing coro­n­avirus (COVID-19) pan­dem­ic.

Wal­lace, a two-time club MVP and 2019 Grand Fi­nal best-on-court re­cip­i­ent, joined the Swifts in 2017 and won the Sun­corp Su­per Net­ball League in 2019.

 Head­ing in­to this sea­son, Wal­lace will re­sume her part­ner­ship with He­len Hous­by which has been vi­tal to the club’s con­tin­ued suc­cess. Fol­low­ing last sea­son, the NSW Swifts shoot­ing team, which al­so in­cludes So­phie Garbin, is ranked third in the league.

Wal­lace, who has been de­scribed as "un-guard­able as you can get at the Goal Shoot­er po­si­tion" on the SSN web­site which added that she scored the third-most points in 2020 but un­like the next two scor­ers, she and con­sis­tent­ly pun­ished de­fences dur­ing the Rebel Pow­er 5, where shoot­ers at­tempt­ed Su­per Shots which were worth two points.

Last sea­son, she scored 522 goals from 591 at­tempts and drained 46 Su­per Shots from 85 at­tempts, which ranked her fifth in both cat­e­gories. She al­so placed fifth in the rank­ings for of­fen­sive re­bounds with 31 for the sea­son.

"I'm grate­ful to be back train­ing with the girls. It was a has­sle to get me across here due to COVID but I'm su­per grate­ful with the hard work my man­ag­er put in be­hind the scenes," said Wal­lace.

"I know we can do it. I saw the girls were work­ing ex­treme­ly hard when I was back in Trinidad and in iso­la­tion so def­i­nite­ly look­ing for­ward to get­ting an­oth­er ti­tle this year... God spare."

SSN an­nounced that the eight teams will com­pete in a full 14-week home and away sea­son fol­lowed by a three-week fi­nals se­ries. The Grand Fi­nal is set for Au­gust 29. Each team will host sev­en home games, with the num­ber of fans able to ac­cess each match de­pend­ing on health au­thor­i­ty ad­vice in each ju­ris­dic­tion.

A full fix­ture is sched­uled to be re­leased soon with on­ly the first month of match­es to en­sure some flex­i­bil­i­ty with the ever-chang­ing COVID-19 sit­u­a­tion ac­cord­ing to the league man­age­ment.

An­oth­er lead­ing T&T net­baller will fea­ture in the SSN League. Kali­fa Mc­Collin, who com­pet­ed with the South­ern Steel in the ANZ Pre­mier­ship in New Zealand, will boost the Colling­wood Mag­pies shoot­ing team.

Mag­pies will be hop­ing Mc­Collin's game trans­lates to the SSN. The for­mer na­tion­al Un­der-21 cap­tain scored 262 points for the Steel last sea­son.
