Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic seasons

The 2009 Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic season saw Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic compete in the 2009 ANZ Championship. With a team coached by Noeline Taurua and co-captained by Joline Henry and Irene van Dyk, Magic finished the regular season as runners-up to Melbourne Vixens.[1][2] They subsequently lost the major semi-final to Vixens and the preliminary final to Adelaide Thunderbirds.[3][4][5]

Players

Player movements

In January 2009, Amigene Metcalfe announced her retirement.[6] In March 2009, Joline Henry and Irene van Dyk were named as co-captains.[1] Leana de Bruin returned to Magic after a season with Northern Mystics, while Frances Solia transferred from Central Pulse. The all-international-level starting line-up drew concerns regarding the uneven distribution of top players among New Zealand franchises and allegations of salary cap breaches.[7][8][9]
