Brittany Edwards - (GA, GS ) Brittany made her return to the court mid-season after giving birth - and clearly decided she hadn't missed a beat! Once back, she was straight into the action, dominating in the goal circle with strong shooting and plenty of determination. Add in her ability to pick up intercepts and turn them straight into goals.

Catie Lewis (Coach) - (WD, GD) Catie has been a strong force in defence this season, throwing herself into contests and making life difficult for opposition attackers. Her pressure and ability to get hands to the ball have created plenty of opportunities for the team.

Elly Blake Captain - (GA, GS) Elly has been a consistent force in the goal circle this season, working beautifully with her shooting partners to keep the scoreboard ticking. Calm, accurate and always ready to take the opportunity, Elly has played an important role in the team's attacking combinations. When the pressure is on, you can count on Elly.

Shanè Bothma - (GD, WD) If there's a ball floating around that shouldn't be there, chances are Shanè is going to find it! Shanè has been a powerhouse in defence, applying relentless pressure and picking up plenty of intercepts and rebounds. Her ability to win the ball and turn defence into attack has been a huge asset for Rovers all season.

Erika Martin - (GK) Erika has been one of the big headaches for opposition attackers this season! Strong rebounds, tips and intercepts have been a regular feature of her game, and her defensive pressure has created countless opportunities for the team.

Montana Muldoon-Leetham - (WA, C) Montana has provided a calm and reliable presence through the midcourt. She works hard to bring the ball out of defence and links the two ends of the court beautifully. Never one to panic, Montana's composure and consistency have helped keep the team moving when things get busy.

Matilda Glowrey - (C, WD) Matilda has been a valuable contributor throughout the season, adapting to different combinations and stepping up whenever the team needed her, never making it easy for her opponent. She has shown great versatility and commitment.

Taylor Wilkinson - (GS) Taylor has been a strong presence under the post, fighting hard for every ball and combining that determination with some fantastic shooting. When Taylor gets the ball in the ring, she's ready to make it count - making her a key part of the Rovers' attack this season.
