2019 FINISH: 12th (1-17)
Fuelled by a couple of disheartening years occupying the foot of the Goulburn Valley League table, Euroa’s latest coaching coup will hope to see the side take flight in 2020.
Sarah Ternes and Emma Clignett take over the reins from Leanne Hamlyn, bringing with them a host of knowledge within the local netballing sector.
Sporting an illustrious resume which includes a role with the esteemed AFL Goulburn Murray Junior Netball academy, Clignett will hold the clipboard next to Ternes, who makes the jump from coaching Euroa’s B-grade side in 2019.
“I am really looking forward to taking the step up alongside Emma, she is a very experienced coach and I will learn a lot from her,” Ternes said.
“This season we will be looking to build a positive culture and get girls really enjoying their netball.”
Having kept hold of the nucleus of its playing contingent, Euroa has added talent in the form of Amelia Unthank and Bree Poole, A-grade netballers from the Ovens and Murray League.
Unthank will enter Magpie country offering versatility, having excelled in both midcourt and defence for North Albury, while Poole, the 2018 O&M Rising Star Medallist, will likely impress coming to Euroa off the back of a lively year in offence for Albury Tigers.
“(Those signings) will mean more depth for us,” Ternes said.
“Hopefully we can hold onto our juniors and reclaim Euroa locals, because that is very important for us.
“The goal is to get a few more wins on the board than last year and try and compete with some of the Shepparton sides.”
