The Tigers' senior netballers finished with a record of 3-13.

However, its record didn't fully capture how the side played on the court, with some tight contests in the first half overshadowed by weaker finishes.

Pimpinio has added two recruits from Dimboola: sisters Tilli and Tori Menzel, to boost the stocks.

Tilli made her WFNL A Grade debut at 15 and has represented the league at the junior level.

Tori, a Roo stalwart, will boost the Tigers' stock with her experience and versatility.

Premier defender Stef Cooper also joined the Tigers' den during the off-season.

In 2024, the agile defender players for rivals Noradjuha/Quantong Football Netball Club.

However, Cooper also boasts WFNL A Grade experience, playing for Minyip/Murtoa in the past.

Cooper's ability to read the play will be paramount in 2025, after the club lost dynamic defender Holly Ross to Rupanyup during the offseason.

Leading the side into the 2025 campaign are Lana Ellis, the 2024 captain, and Hayley Hatcher.

Both coaches boast a wealth of experience at the highest level in the HDFNL on and off the court.
