Orkney radio has given scores for a sport called "Net Ball" or "Netball." Could anyone enlighten me as to what this game is? I thought perhaps it could be another name for basketball, (like football is soccer....) but they went on to mention basketball as a separate entity. There was also a water sport mentioned on a broadcast a week or so ago that I hadn't heard of, and actually I can't remember the name now. Perhaps one of you know what that was too. I still trying to figure out how to follow a rugby game, but I might as well learn about a few more while I'm at it. Karen in Memphis

Don't know what the water sport mentioned might have been - was it Octopush? That is like underwater hockey! -- Mike Clouston
