Snyman (nee Fay) was goal keep for the Rebels and Otago teams that won two national titles that season, and was arguably the most underrated player in a team of superstars.
She said the first Coca-Cola Cup final, in which the Rebels beat the Sting 57-50, was a momentous game.
''Obviously winning was a great memory but also the support we got from Dunedin was amazing that year,'' Snyman told the Otago Daily Times in an email.
''People queued overnight for tickets to the final. It felt like the city really embraced netball that year.''
Snyman, now a doctor, lives in Rotorua.
She and husband Gerrie have two children, Ella (7) and CJ (6).
Like the rest of the 1998 crew, she has nothing but warm memories of the year of years, and will relish another opportunity at the Otago netball centenary this weekend to catch up with old mates.
''I think the 1998 team was so special because we were a group of very driven, competitive young ladies who were all very like-minded,' Snyman said.
''We lived together, hung out together and knew each other really well. On the court, we were all fiercely competitive and trusted each other to do our job well. There was a great confidence that year.
''We still keep in contact. We all went to each other's weddings (some of us were bridesmaids for each other). A group of us came to Dunedin and played masters netball a few years ago (really an excuse for a catch-up).
"Last summer, six of us had a four-day Queenstown girls' break together - shopping, eating and relaxing.''
Snyman also reflects positively on the immense contribution of master coach Georgie Salter.
''She was fun, innovative and just seemed to understand how to bring out the best in such a young, social team.
''Georgie's trainings in Otago were like no-one else's that I experienced. Every training drill had a game-specific purpose and they were all very competitive, which was very different to other provinces I played for.
''I think the group of us in Dunedin that era really clicked with Georgie and she was definitely a major part of our success.''
