16th August 2009 Good Sports: Liz Ellis, Robert DiPierdomenico and Catherine Cox have been signing “charita ballsâ€. Photo: Cade Mooney/184450 The faces were familiar… very familiar. Liz Ellis, the Australian netball celebrity, was quite literally having a ball. So was Aussie rules legend Robert “Dipper†DiPierdomenico. NSW Swifts netball captain Cath Cox was also in the thick of the action at the Sunshine Coast Netball Association courts, signing “charita ballsâ€. About 1000 of them, in fact. The $5 balls are being sold to promote the Bank of Queensland Maroochydore Celebrity Charity Golf Day, at Pelican Waters in November.
The event will raise funds for the Sunshine Coast Children’s Therapy Centre, so the sporting celebrities are happy to lend a hand.
