Hungry Towners poised to take next step

Sporting an exciting mix of youth and experience, the Towners continued on their upwards trajectory last year, as they qualified for and won a final on their way to a fifth-placed finish.

Now the challenge for coach Kolby Wild, who takes the reins solo for the first time after co-coach Abbie Ellis stepped aside, is to turn this promising team into a premiership contender.

But with young stars Jayde Burden and Imy Law leading the way, and a plethora of recruits to don the Violet Town colours, Wild said she could not wait to see what the girls could accomplish.

“We’ve been in a bit of a building phase for the past few seasons, and are hoping that this is the year everything really starts to come together,” Wild said.

“Recruiting-wise we’ve done a great job in adding more speed into the squad which is something we lacked a bit of last year.

“So overall, things are looking very positive at the moment and hopefully that translates into more finals netball.”
