The trio will play in the Netball Victoria Origin Association Championship Finals series in Melbourne on Sunday, July 24 alongside the league’s under-13 side.

All three have been key members of their respective sides strong seasons, with both Moama and Tongala safely entrenched in the top six of the A-grade competition.

Steel has enjoyed life in goal defence in the MNL after crossing from the GVL, while Brock has been one of the league’s dominant forces at the other end of the court despite missing several games through Victorian Netball League duties.

Hammond has been one of Tongala’s dynamic movers around the court and has had a stellar season to date for the rising Blues.

Despite being picked for the Murray League in 2021, none of the three had an opportunity to play as COVID-19 forced the cancellation of inter-league clashes.

Deniliquin has the most representatives picked with four set to run out for the MNL, and Nathalia’s Emma McDonald will helm the leagues efforts at the tournament.
