The girls have been a dominant force over the past two seasons, winning both the premier division grand final and the cup final for their respective divisions for two consecutive seasons.

Frank DiCosta and Nick Celenza will again coach the girls. DiCosta said he was feeling confident despite the increased number of teams in the competition. ‘This season will be a real test for the girls, given the increased number of teams and the external demands the girls will have to balance,’ he said.

‘The girls are looking strong, committed and full of talent but it will ultimately come down to their hunger and desire to win’.
