The 11-player squad, to be coached by Golden Square 17-and-under coach Melinda Keighran, contains players from five league clubs - Eaglehawk, Gisborne, Golden Square, Sandhurst and South Bendigo.
Familiar names include South Bendigo recruit Chloe Langley, who will this month represent Victoria at the 2019 National Netball Championships in Brisbane, Ruby Turner, who made her A-grade debut for powerhouse Sandhurst last season, and dual-code star Piper Dunlop.
BFNL manager Cameron Tomlins thanked all players who committed to representing the league this season and wished the team well.
"I would like to personally thank all players who trialled in 2019 and were unsuccessful, we sincerely hope to welcome them all back to trial again in 2020," he said.
" Several of the successful selected players this year unsuccessfully trialled or were emergencies in 2018, which is a great reward for those who showed the determination to trial for the team again.
"Our 2019 team will be striving for success across all inter-league, Netball Victoria Association Championships and warm-up tournaments in 2019 and we have no doubt they will successfully represent the BFNL and showcase the high standard of our 17-and-under competition".
The squad is Arriah Keogh (Eaglehawk), Georgia Murray (Gisborne), Abbey Grindal, Abbey Clohesy, Ashlee O'Shea, Kayla Ashcroft (Golden Square), Ruby Turner, Piper Dunlop (Sandhurst), Chloe Langley, Morgan McLennan, and Carissa Brooks (South Bendigo).
Assistant coach is Kangaroo Flat's Nina Cass, with Nicole Donnellon the team manager.
