VNL squads have been finalised for the upcoming 2022 season, with talented Tigerettes duo Teal Hocking and Kasey Conder named.

Rochester’s 2021 Rising Star recipient Hocking will compete for the Falcons once more in the 19-and-under competition after suiting up for the club in 2021.

Tigerettes midcourter Conder has also been added to a VNL side, with the Boroondara Express adding Conder to its extended talent squad.

The pair are among 17 Goulburn Valley League netballers to earn selection for the VNL’s 10 clubs, with six GVL clubs boasting representatives.

Mooroopna Football Netball Club has the highest representation with six players, while Tatura, Seymour, and 2021 minor premier Shepparton United each have three players selected.

Echuca’s Claudia Mawson is her club’s sole representative.

Round one of the VNL starts on Wednesday, March 16, and runs through to grand final day on Wednesday, August 10.
