When social sport goes too far | ABC News

It was during the pandemic that Lily Grimley decided to join a social netball team to stay active.
What started as a fun, weekly get-together with her friends, ended with an unexpected encounter.
"A few of the girls [on my team] didn't know the rules … and some of the members on the other team were quite competitive and got a bit annoyed about us not knowing the rules," Ms Grimley said.
"She actually tried to grab at my throat and really start a fight, she was pushing and shoving and yelling at us and became really aggressive.
"Her behaviour was really unacceptable … it took everybody by surprise and really ended up ruining the game and, to be honest, the rest of the season."
