Mo'onia Frances Gerrard OAM (born 15 November 1980 in Bathurst, Australia)[1] is a former Australian netball player of Tongan descent.
On 14 March 2013 the New South Wales Parliament's Legislative Council voted unanimously to commend Gerrard on her outstanding service to the community.
This knee reconstruction also prevented Gerrard from competing at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, in which Australia lost the gold-medal match to New Zealand.
Her strong defensive combination with Sydney Swifts teammate Liz Ellis played a major role in Australia reversing their losing streak against New Zealand in mid-2006, and Gerrard has laid claim to the goal defence position ever since.
In November 2007 Gerrard played a key role for Australia when it won the Netball World Championships beating New Zealand in Auckland.
[5] She missed the Diamonds' inaugural World Netball Series campaign in 2009 with an ankle injury, but rejoined the national team for the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, winning silver.
