Wendy Trolove - Chair

A Marlburian at heart, after spending the last 15 years away, it is so nice to be back home! Having grown up playing Netball at Horton Park it is an immense privilege to join the Marlborough Netball Centre Board.

After a number of years working in community sport, most recently for Netball New Zealand, I look forward to being able to share my experiences, knowledge and expertise to ensure that Netball in our community flourishes. It is important that we provide opportunities for the community that are enjoyed, meet the need and are instilling a life-long love for our game, and I look forward to contributing to achieving this.

Outside of Netball, I work for one of the local wine companies as a direct to consumer manager which is an exciting and diverse role. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, heading into the Sounds and am attempting to diversify my sporting abilities by trying to hit a golf ball!



Helen McLauchlan - Deputy Chair

I have lived in Marlborough for just over 6 years, just outside Blenheim where we run our family vineyard.  My husband and I have three children and we are closely involved in our local school community.  As a result I have been either sideline supporter, manager or coach of many junior netball teams.

As a past player and avid netball fan it has been a privilege to further contribute as a board member.  I joined the board in 2020 during the Covid lockdown, which was a time of challenge and change in community sport.  I am proud of the adaptability our netball community showed during this time.

Alongside our vineyard business, I am a Speech Language Therapist and have been in a variety of roles within the health sector in Marlborough.  On the board I have a role on the competition committee and in reviewing complaints/disputes.  I enjoy the opportunity to play a role in supporting our great sport in Marlborough.​​​​​​​


Hayley Turoa

I spent most of my upbringing travelling around between New Zealand's North Island and Australia before finally settling in Blenheim just short of 11 years ago. Travelling around hasn't stopped me from playing netball for 14 years with many more to come. I am very committed to everything I do and am always organised. This is very useful in juggling my day to day work/social/student life as an architectural designer, student studying online, club secretary, avid netball, and NZ Theory/ Zone qualified netball umpire. I have been umpiring for 9 years now and am continuing to progress to higher qualifications.

I've always had a passion for design and always been creative so its no surprise that I've made my career as an architectural designer. Having an active/creative mind is just as important to me as being active. Growing up playing lots of different sports has for certain rubbed off on who I am today as a person. When my spare time isn't spent being active, I'm spending the rest of it with my friends and family enjoying the most of life at 22!

I am excited for my term on the board and look forward to learning so many new things alongside new experiences with some great people.

Kia Ora!

I have lived in the Wairau region for 8 years now with a large passion for sport and the outdoors.

Netball has been a large part of my sporting career with experience playing, coaching, and umpiring. Giving back into the community is important to me and I always enjoy seeing our Rangatahi and Tamariki being active in our community, through sport.

With my studies being in Sports Management, and my current job with Sport Tasman, I look forward to providing my expertise and background to support a sustainable and forward-thinking netball community.

I have a particular interest in strategic planning and events, and look forward to working with a group of ambitious and intelligent wāhine this season on the board.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends, getting outside and riding horses.
