Netball career

Borlase began her netball career at Kapinnie, on the Eyre Peninsula where she played for the Tigers in the Great Flinders Netball Association and became one of Australias most accurate Goal Shooters.[2]

Borlase went on to State League level with Garville Netball Club which enjoyed a fierce rivalry during the late 1980s and 1990s with Contax Netball Club.[3] She represented South Australia in national championships and then the Adelaide Ravens in the national league.

Borlase represented Australia from 1989–1999, contributing strongly with her uncanny goalscoring ability, and was a part of successful world champion campaigns in 1991, 1995, and 1999. She also won Gold at the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur.

Borlase joined the Netball SA Board in 2008 after 3 years on the Netball Victoria Board. She has held many different positions within netball from Australian player to coach, commentator and selector.[4]
