Island hopper loving her Sarnia experience

A BRIGHT new all-round talent has landed on these shores.

You won't get to see her speciality yet – that is middle-distance running – but while she prepares for another track and field season, Emma Leask (pictured) is catching the attention of the island netball selectors.
