GD defending a GS that stepped in

I had a GS that would step in everytime to take a shot, the GD would hold her ground and continue to defend the ball (3 feet from the original landed foot), however the GD would then reach with her arms to the ball above the GShooters head where the GS in the act of trying to get clear of the GD would hit the ball against the GD hand. I didn’t call anything however my question is if the ball is forced by the GS into the GD hand is this a penalty? The other occurrence that happened was when the GS stepped in on another occasion, she was physically touching/on top of the GD, I didn’t think the GD was in the wrong as she was 3 feet, did the GD have to reshuffle so she was not touching or is this a penalty on the GS?

16.2 From the correct distance, a defending player may attempt to intercept or defend the ball:-

  1. (ii)  if the player with the ball steps forward to lessen the distance of 0.9m (3 feet) between them. 

    1. 17.1.2  In an effort to attack or defend or to play the ball a player shall not:-

    1. (v)  while holding the ball push it into an opponent; 

    2.  

      answer to your first question...yes the GD was at the correct distance, and teh GS stepped in and then pushed the ball into the hands of the GD then its ball contact AGAINST the GS.

      the second question, again the GS was in the wrong, as the GD was the correct distance away, and teh GS stepped in and forced the contact on the GD.  pentaly, contact against the GS.

      the above 2 extracts are from the international rules of netball site.

Yes, agree with Leanne. The GS is in the wrong in both situations and it should be a penalty against her. Unfortunately often the poor defences are often called for contact in error, especially in grades where there are junior umpires.
