Antonia Farnworth

Antonia "Toni" Farnworth (née Edmondson)[1] (born 10 May 1987) is a New Zealand professional basketball player for the Ringwood Hawks of the NBL1 South.

Farnworth began her professional career in 2007 when she joined her hometown team, the Christchurch Sirens, of the Women's National Basketball League (WNBL).

In 2009, Farnworth moved to Australia and joined the Albury Wodonga Bandits of the South East Australian Basketball League (SEABL).

However, success eluded the Waves over her three seasons with the club as they finished on the bottom of the ladder every year, winning just nine total games over that span.

[3] During her time with the Waves, she played in the State Basketball League (SBL) during the off-seasons, competing with the Willetton Tigers (2013 & 2014) and Joondalup Wolves (2015).

[9] She helped the Lynx reach their first WNBL Grand Final since 1999,[10] where they lost the best-of-three series 2–0 to the Townsville Fire.

[14] Farnworth was a powerful force for the Hawks in 2017, helping them win the minor premiership with a 20–2 record before reaching the SBL Grand Final.

[15] Farnworth took out the Grand Final MVP award after her dominant performance in leading the Hawks to championship victory over the Mandurah Magic, particularly in the second half where she had 18 of her 26 points.

[18] The Lynx finished on top of the ladder thanks to a 14-game winning streak, but a brutal travel schedule and string of injuries robbed them of the chance to taste ultimate success.
