Open Netball State Final Team Announced
The Hampden Football Netball League is proud to announce its Open Netball team for the upcoming Association Championships State Finals, to be held later this month.
A squad of nine players will represent Hampden at the one-day event, with the team featuring a strong mix of emerging youth and experienced open-age players. The depth and diversity of talent in the region is well reflected, with six HFNL clubs contributing players to the final squad.
Open team coach Jill Leader is excited about what this group brings to the table.
“I’m thrilled with the large representation we’re taking to the State Titles,” she said. “It really showcases the depth of talent across our whole region.”
Leader is confident the team has the tools to adapt and thrive throughout the tournament.
“We’ve struck a great balance between exciting young talent and seasoned performers who know what it takes at this level,” she said.
“With the versatility we have across the court, we’ll be able to work through different combinations depending on the matchups that come our way.”
The Association Championships provide a valuable opportunity for players to test themselves against the best across the state, and Hampden’s strong showing at the regional qualifiers has paved the way for this next challenge.
