North Central squads locked and loaded

IT’S full steam ahead to the 2026 Netball Victoria State Titles for North Central following the finalisation of squads for next year’s tournament.

Selectors have unveiled a 10-player open squad, with two emergencies, for the 7-9 March tournament at the State Netball Centre in Parkville.

The team, to be coached by Jane Reid, comprises players from five leagues, including Bendigo, Heathcote District, Loddon Valley, Murray and Goulburn Valley, representing 11 different clubs.

BFNL representatives include Tegan Maddern (Castlemaine), Hayley Harrington (South Bendigo) and Gisborne’s Holly Brewer, who is one of the two emergencies.

The HDFNL is best represented with five players, including 2025 Colbinabbin premiership midcourter Kasey Conder, Elmore dual A-grade premiership winner Abbey Hromenko, Jeanette Ross (North Bendigo), Remee Christiansen (Lockington-Bamawm United and Serryn Eenjes (White Hills).

Meanwhile, following an exhaustive trial and training process, final squads of 12 have been announced for North Central’s 17-and-under and 15-and-under teams, to be coached respectively by Nicole Donnellon and Betty McCoomb.

Both are bolstered by three emergencies.

The 17-and-under male team, to be coached by Vanessa Saunders, was finalised early last month.
