Tania Dalton's legacy honoured through new scholarship programmeSUPPLIED The first inductees of the Tania Dalton Foundation. The husband of late Silver Ferns star Tania Dalton believes they have found the perfect way to honour her memory. They come from a range of sports Dalton and her family had a strong bond with, including netball, tennis, touch rugby, surf lifesaving, basketball and rugby. "One of the main goals of the programme is for these young women to then contribute back to their communities and continue the legacy for future generations – and that's something we're really excited about." The 11 scholarship recipients are Isa Norman-Bell (Touch rugby and rugby, Auckland), Mahina Paul (touch rugby and rugby, Whakatane), Holly Stewart (tennis, Auckland), Lucy Makaea (surf life saving, Auckland), Samalulu Clifton (surf life saving, Auckland), Dhys Faleafaga (rugby, Wellington), Renee Holmes (rugby, Gisborne), Ainsleyana Puleiata (netball, Wellington), Theresa Ngata (netball, Auckland), Leah Mafua (basketball, Wellington), Sharne Pupuke-Robati (basketball, Auckland).
