Key newcomers
We have a lot of new players coming in who look like they could play an important role during the season.
Coach comment: We are looking forward to another great year with the girls. We will try and emulate our success from last year, and that will be our aim. However, we are more than aware that we have an extremely strong classification to compete in and there are a lot of really good teams which will stand in our way. Our focus will be performance over result, and our main goal will be that our players have an enjoyable season. Thus, we enter into the season with the motto, Together as one, and that’s all we can ask from the girls that they give it their all and do the best that can, and that will always be good enough for us.
