Sarah BrookesMidland Kalamunda Reporter

WEST Coast Fever midcourter Jess Anstiss (21) has been named the Rebel Young Star of the Year, following another stellar season on and off the court.

The Maida Vale resident was selected by a panel of Suncorp Super Netball judges on the basis of her netball talents, sportsmanship and a connection to the community and charities.

Anstiss proved her versatility in 2018, playing in all three midcourt positions on her way to her maiden Australian Diamonds squad selection.

West Coast Fever Head Coach Stacey Marinkovich congratulated Anstiss on the award.
