Kenny Keen for Swifts success
After finishing just outside of contention for finals last season, this year Swifts A Grade netball side are aiming to do better.
The club's Amy Kenny said they are excited to keep 90 percent of their players from last year, but will also welcome back a face that is familiar.
Emily Hands, an all-rounder at home in all positions will be welcomed back on court after having a baby.
She adds to a team that is already incredibly versatile.
The side participated in a game for practice recently and Kenny said the enthusiasm for the season ahead was evident.
"Last season's side was new," she said.
"But we had a practice last week, and there were electric vibes.
"Every single one is keen for the season."
The Swifts have an A Grade squad of 10 for 2025 after being depleted by injury last season.
They started with a group of 18 in A and B Grade in 2024 - but by the end of the season were juggling only 12 players across both sides.
One of the players to form part of this year's A Grade side will be Kat Boag - who will be looking to have her first full season in seniors.
"She came through the junior ranks," Kenny said.
"I can't wait to have her injected into A Grade team, particularly in the mid-court.
"I'm really excited to see how she performs."
