Netball career

Lorraine Mair (née Murphy) played her first match for the Silver Ferns en route to Jamaica, in Barbados on 18 December 1970, but was little used during the world championships. She was the 51st woman to play for the Silver Ferns. Mair played in the Goal keeper (GK) position as well as Goal defence (GD) and Wing defence (WD).[1]

In October 2018, Mair tossed the coin at the beginning of the Constellation Cup netball match between Australia and New Zealand in Wellington, New Zealand.[2]
