🏏 WOMEN’S XI CO-COACHES ANNOUNCED 🏏

We’re excited to announce Ben Tuovinen and Gavan Hicks as Co-Coaches of our Women’s XI for the 2026/27 season.

This will be Ben’s third year coaching the group, while Gavan enters his second season with the team. With strong leadership already in place through our captaincy group and great support from experienced senior men’s players, it’s shaping up to be an exciting season for our women.

We’d also like to thank Logan Attard for his efforts as Co-Coach last season. His support and commitment to the group was greatly appreciated.

We can’t wait to see what the girls can achieve this season.
