READ NOW‘Having played football in country South Australia where every football club has a netball club that plays under the same banner, I’ve seen first-hand the benefits expanding our football club’s profile as this will allow more people to join the Eels family.’
Netball coach Kerry Menaglio said her 18-year-old daughter suggested creating the Eels Netball Club.
‘My husband plays for the Eels Football Club so we got in touch with the president of the Eels and then it went from there.
‘The girls will play at Wanneroo Districts Netball Association which is played at Kingsway Sporting Complex so they can play teams from Hamersley, Joondalup, Yanchep, Landsdale so it will be a good competition.
‘I’m hoping the girls have fun and hopefully win some games.’ The season starts in May with registrations early January.
