Lorna McConchie
Lorna Jean McConchie was an Australian netball player, coach and sports administrator.
McConchie's early life saw her attend University High, before getting a job as a lecturer at the University of Melbourne. Her physical education course was to become the precursor for courses taught in the following decades.
McConchie dedicated her life to netball in Australia. Lorna started playing netball in the 1920s, eventually making the state, then national teams. She played for Victoria from 1931 until World War II. By 1939 she was the vice captain of the Australian team, set to tour New Zealand, but unfortunately cancelled because of the war.
