Kelly and Ella Baldwin played together in C-grade on Saturday, with Kelly coming out of retirement after a six year hiatus to help the team out with their numbers.
Kelly thinks she will retire again at the end of this season.
It would be great to see Kelly back again in years to come, with two younger daughters still forming their netball careers.

Sandra Williams would like to extend a big thank you to local businesses for helping her out recently.
As there are more and more people in Tocumwal using mobility scooters, Sandra wonders if people realise that NRMA is available to them if they find themselves in a spot of bother - free of charge.
Sandra found herself in such a pickle a few weeks ago with a flat tyre.
She called the NRMA and was told that they do not carry the appropriate tyre tubes, but would help her out if she got one.
She then went to Murray Motors who got her a new tube delivered overnight.
Unfortunately, NRMA were not able to locate the equipment to fit the new tube into the tyre.
Mark II Automotive then came to the rescue, and within the hour had come and collected the tyre and tube and bought it back to Sandra later that day.
Thank you to these local businesses for helping Sandra out.
