Our 23 and Under side are the 2026 Victorian Netball League premiers. They beat Geelong Cougars 63 to 47 in the grand final at the State Netball Centre on Wednesday 12 August, the club's third premiership after the 2017 Championship and 2019 Division One titles.
23 and Under
The side finished the home and away season third on the ladder with 14 wins and 4 losses. In the finals they beat Western Warriors 58 to 48 in the first week and Geelong Cougars 58 to 48 in the second, which sent them straight through to the grand final. A fortnight later they met the Cougars again and won by 16 goals.
It was a premiership some time in the making. The 23 and Under side reached the division's first grand final in 2024, and finished on top of the ladder in 2025 before falling one goal short in a semi-final.
Championship
The Championship side finished fourth with 11 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses, and returned to the finals for the second year running. Their season ended in the first week of the finals, beaten 49 to 48 by Bendigo Strikers.
