Vilimaina Davu

Vilimaina Davu (born 15 January 1977) is a former netball international who represented both Fiji and New Zealand.

However, she began and ended her international career with Fiji, representing them at the 1999 and 2007 World Netball Championships.

He was part of a small group of relatives and friends that were meeting the Fiji team on their return from the 2007 World Netball Championships.

The ANZ Championship only allowed one foreign player per team and Mystics had already registered Cathrine Latu (Samoa).

[26][27][28][29] To help regain her fitness, Davu became an ambassador for the weight-loss company, Jenny Craig.

[2][41][42][43] In June 2000, Vilimaina captained the Team Pasifika selection that played New Zealand in a two match series.

The team was coached by Te Aroha Keenan and also featured Teresa Tairi, Jenny-May Coffin, Frances Solia and Sheryl Clarke.

The team was coached by Jill McIntosh and also featured Kathryn Harby (Australia), Elaine Davis (Jamaica), Leana du Plooy (South Africa).

[1][2][50] She was a prominent member of the New Zealand teams that won the 2003 World Netball Championships[51][52][53][54] and the 2006 Commonwealth Games.

Ruth Aitken said Davu rated among the great New Zealand defenders such as Waimarama Taumaunu and Bernice Mene.

She admitted her fitness and conditioning wasn't what it should have been, but emphasized she was only a late inclusion in the squad after visa issues ruled out some of the other members.
