North Central names squad for Netball Victoria State Titles

A 10-player squad includes a mix of players from four of the region's leagues, including several with BFNL A-grade experience.

It is complemented by a squad of four training partners.

The squad will be coached by astute and long-time representative team coach Carol Cathcart and multiple Sandhurst 17-and-under premiership coach Rose Gallagher.

Those with BFNL A-grade experience include Sandhurst midcourter Shae Clifford, Gisborne' Kiralee Collings, Eaglehawk's Jasmin Gallagher and Strathfieldsaye goal shooter Ava Hamilton.

The BFNL is the best represented in the squad with eight players, with five of them - Clifford, Katie Dean, Eliza Oxley, Charlotte Sexton and Isabelle Shoebridge - from Sandhurst.

They are joined by HDFNL standout Maddison McInnes (Elmore) and Annie Harvey from the Deniliquin Netball Association.

Training partners are Elmore's Cayde Hayes, South Bendigo's Ella Flavell and the Echuca District Netball Association's Lilli and Jorja Oliver.

The State Titles are scheduled to be held in Melbourne in October.

North Central has won the 17-and-under title on three occasions since 2000 , including back-to-back successes in 2001-02 and 2015.

The region finished runners-up to Jika in 2018
