Stronger side has eyes on the prize

“We’re stronger again with a few new faces, so we’re pretty confident.”

Strathmerton premiership defender Tegan Sutton, who was best-on-court in last year’s Picola league premiership, strengthens the Purples greatly, while a secretive McDonald kept a couple of cards close to her chest in promising some more additions.

“The goal end will definitely be stronger, and the defence will be too with Tegan in there adding some height. Stacey Ross is also back from a knee, so we’ve probably strengthened all over,” she said.

“Motivation seemed to come easily off last season. The dynamic has been really enjoyable and they’ve made my job easy.”
