We’re Longer Than Three Seconds 🏐- two amateur netballers who love the game and want to talk about it.


Each week we’ll chat through the NSL games - what actually happened, why it mattered, and what we think might happen next. No jargon, no pretending we’re elite coaches. Just proper netball conversation for people who are getting into the league, want to understand it better, or already care a bit too much (like us!).


But we’re also bringing our own netball lives into it…

The outdoor games in sideways rain.

Being told it’s a “non-contact sport” while someone is fully breathing down your neck nowhere near the ball.

Trying to subtly hide long nails from the umpire every single week.

The post-match debrief via voice notes that lasts longer than the actual game.


Because most of us don’t play in arenas. We play in sports halls, school courts and leisure centres. And that’s just as much netball.


There are so many people who play this sport. It deserves more attention, more conversation, more visibility. We just want to be part of that!!! Shining a bit more light on the game we love.


Where tactics meet tea. ☕

    Jun 8 2026

    This week on Longer Than Three Seconds, we’re diving straight into all the action from the semi-finals! We break down the standout performances, including Berri Neil and El Cardwell coming out with serious intent and setting the tone from the very first whistle.


    Off the court, Rosie gives us a wedding debrief, while Ally shares all about her recent Pride event and why creating inclusive spaces in sport matters more than ever.


    From netball analysis to life updates and plenty of laughs along the way, it’s another episode that’s definitely longer than three seconds.

    Jun 2 2026

    In this week’s Longer Than Three Seconds, Ally and Rosie break down Round 13 of the Netball Super League - yes you are correct, this is coming to you a week late. As the girls sweat it out on the sofa this week, the professionals sweated it out on the courts. With only 1 game to go in the season left, the games of round 13 were just as hot as the weather!


    Unfortunately during this episode, the camera overheated and we lost all sound about half way. But don’t worry, listen to find out how Ally creatively fixed the problem to make sure we still managed to give you all, a wonderfully chaotic episode.

  • S1 E13| Forest show up fighting, Caps or Bibs, and how significant is Alicia Scholes?
    May 22 2026

    In this week’s Longer Than Three Seconds, Ally and Rosie break down Round 12 of the Netball Super League. This round saw the last spot for the final 4 get filled in perhaps one of the best games yet as Forest, Mavericks and Dragons battled it out. Over at the London Derby, Funmi Fadoju performs in her 100th cap, and up North Thunder and Rhinos took each other on.


    Amateur hour is back in full swing with Monday night netball about to kick off just after recording - with winning talk from Ally to a less than convinced Rosie.
