Last year, Unisi played a pivotal role as Goal Shooter and Goal Attack for Suva in the final against the Nasinu district side during the Crest Chicken National Netball Championship.

Fresh out of school, Jeloma admits that Netball is her one and only love. So much so that she has decided to defer her studies to play in the Singapore Netball League for five-eight weeks.
