Court and Net Team Sports

Colleen Falloon, born Colleen Natalie McMaster in 1943, is a former New Zealand netball international from Christchurch. She began playing representative netball for Canterbury in 1959 and was chosen the next year, as the youngest member of the party, for the New Zealand tour of Australia, where she played in two Tests and New Zealand recorded its first ever win over Australia. She played 11 Test matches in all between 1960 and 1963, including the 1963 World Netball Tournament, at which New Zealand finished as runners-up, and she often lined up at goal shooter or goal attack. After netball she became a distance runner and Masters athlete, completing 82 marathons by 2012 and winning several New Zealand national marathon titles in the W60, W65, W70 and W75 age groups.
