Cynna Kydd Biography

Cynna Kydd is one of the most popular and richest Netballer who was born on September 18, 1981 in Kyabram, Victoria, Australia. Cynna Kydd (nee Neele; born 18 September 1981 in Kyabram, Victoria) is a former Australian professional netball player. Kyddd was successful with swimming and netball during her youth and also played in the Dairy Farmers State League at the age of 16 years old. She was also picked for the national under-21 squad in 1999, and was later recognized from the Australian Institute of Sport, prior to launching her professional career.

Kydd first made an appearance with Kydd made her debut for Melbourne Kestrels in April 2000 however, due to her inexperience, she was only allowed to play two games during the course of the season. She was picked for the U-21 national team for a tour of Jamaica in May. This was followed by a successful stay in the team as part of the team to participate in the Youth World Cup in Wales. When the season ended, Kydd was selected for the state’s open team at the nation’s championships. She she was a part of the U-21 team, was selected in the initial National Open squad even though she had only played in two national league matches. But the national team was then enjoying an unusually high number of shooters which meant she had to be cut in the midst of intense competition from six other notable players who all had only three positions in the final squad. However, her disappointment was partially compensated by her winning the Commonwealth Bank Trophy’s best New Talent award, worth A$5,000in February 2001.

Though she had missed out on Commonwealth Games selection, Kydd had established a reputation as a particularly difficult opponent by the beginning of the 2002 Commonwealth Bank Trophy season. She was consistently among the league’s top goalers, particularly after she was again paired with Burton, due to the axing of struggling new recruit Kristy Doyle. She scored her 500th goal with the Kestrels in the middle of the season, and excelled against some particularly difficult opponents, including then-Australian captain Kathryn Harby-Williams. She was integral in helping the Kestrels make the semifinals for the first time since 1999, and was the third-highest scorer in the league. Kydd was again named in the extended national squad at the end of the season, and finally survived the cut, being named in the squad to tour Jamaica in early 2003, beating rival shooters Jane Altschwager and Megan Dehn (née Anderson) for the vacancy caused by the retirement of veteran player Jacqui Delaney.

At only 21 Kydd was the youngest player on the tour of Jamaica and, while she toured with the remainder of the team, was overlooked for a Test position. She finally made her full début against South Africa not long afterwards, and managed to cement her position with a superb performance, managing an accuracy rate of 94% in the third Test. This performance, along with similar form in the national league, led to her selection in the starting squad for the 2003 Netball World Championships. She played every game in the world championships in July at the expense of ageing veteran Eloise Southby, a decision which was the cause of some controversy. She subsequently helped the Kestrels to the elimination final and, at the end of the season, was named as the team’s new vice-captain, with predecessor Janine Ilitch assuming the captaincy. She also won the coveted Commonwealth Bank Trophy Player’s Player Award, and tied for third in the Most Valuable Player count.

Kydd graduated from highschool at the close of 2000 and relocated to Kensington the suburban suburb in Melbourne in February 2001 to pursue a degree in hotel and tourism management in the hospitality and tourism department at Victoria University. In the first week of the 2001 season two of the Kestrels principal stars, Shelley O’Donnell and Janine Ilitch, announced that they would not be playing for the duration of the season due to their pregnancy. Kydd was drafted to fill in the gap. Kydd became a main player in no time, and despite the Kestrels were struggling, Kyddd forged an effective team along with the goal-shooter Amanda Burton (who she had previously played with during the interstate contest). Kydd was one of the best players in the team and was often praised by the media for her consistency and accuracy as she came out at the end of the season with 390 goals, which was the fifth highest score average of the competition. Kyddd continued to play for Australia in the under-21 tournament and was selected for a number of home games against England as well as a tour of New Zealand, and was again included in Australia’s open team prior towards the 2002 Commonwealth Games, but was removed out of the final team.

Kydd was born into Kyabram, which is a Victorian city of Kyabram and started playing netball competitively at the age of nine. Although she was also an accomplished swimmer however, she was forced to decide between both sports and decided to play netball. She played for the local and Goulburn Valley’s representative teams as young adults and in 1998, at 16 years old she was picked to represent the dominating Eastside Netball Club in the state-wide Dairy Farmers State League competition along with three national league players. Despite having a daily commute of three hours and having to manage academic commitments as well as sporting obligations in Kyabram Secondary College, she was a key player in the Eastside’s winning season that year. She was later selected in the state’s under-21 team at an annual Australian National Netball Championships and as part of the Melbourne Kestrels squad for the 1999 season.

Although she had never played in any national league games Kyddd was a part of the nation’s under-21 (U-21) team for 1999. This was the result of the reforms that were made in 1999 and her admission as a member of the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). She played in the 1999 season with an AIS club playing in the Victorian state league, and then changing to the South Australian counterparts for the 2000 season. Kydd with a height of 188 centimeters (6 7 feet 2 inches) tall, earned an image as a reliable shooter. She also, despite frequently not playing due to the absence of her participation in the national U-21 team, she was an integral player in the squad.

Kydd was a goal shooter for the Melbourne Kestrels in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy from 2000 to 2006, serving as club captain for the last two years. An accurate and high-scoring shooter, she was one of the league’s top players of that era, winning the competition’s Most Valuable Player award for 2004. She was also a frequent member of the Australian national netball team from 2003 to 2005. Her career was hampered by injury and poor form in later years, and she struggled after being dropped from the national side in early 2005 and missing out on a return in time for the 2006 Commonwealth Games after sustaining a serious concussion late in the year.

After six years at the Kestrels, the defection saw Kydd forced to adapt to a new shooting combination with veteran international Sharelle McMahon. As she had had little opportunity to train with the new team before the opening of the season, the pair initially had some difficulty adjusting to each other’s style. After a tenuous start, however, the pair found form, and were able to form a relatively successful combination. Kydd scored 360 goals in the season, and assisted the Phoenix in becoming the top scoring side for the season, although occasionally patchy form from the team as a whole saw the Phoenix slip outside the top two at season’s end. Kydd was overlooked for a return to international selection during the 2006–07 season.
