Netball: Central Pulse overcome injuries to reclaim ANZ Premiership lead with win over Southern Steel

Even without any of their frontline shooters - and stinging from their first loss of the season, Central Pulse have shrugged off their mounting injury toll to overwhelm Southern Steel 57-37, unleashing a record first-quarter scoring performance.

With contracted attackers Amelia Walmsley, Tiana Metuarau and Khiarna Williams all sidelined, Pulse coach Anna Andrews-Tasola was forced to field a makeshift line-up under goal and they responded with faultless shooting for a 20-6 lead in the opening stanza.
