The Seymour A-graders would be the first to admit that the 2023 season was below the high standards they’ve set for themselves.
The 2019 and 2022 premiership winners were fifth after the regular season and suffered a first-round finals exit at the hands of Tatura.
But, the bounce back seems inevitable.
Seymour has strengthened their squad by bringing young goaler Ruby Martin back to Kings Park after a stint at Wodonga Bulldogs alongside Ally Black, who was part of Ariels’ Victorian Netball League squad in 2023.
All key players have also recommitted for the 2024 campaign, including reigning Wellman medallist Sarah Szczykulski and Australian Netball Championship gold medalist Casey Adamson.
“We’ve got a fantastic bunch of girls who know what it takes to get the job done week in, week out,” coach Ellie Fuhrmeister said.
“There’s plenty of experience in the squad and a huge amount of drive to make amends for a below-par finals series.
“If we keep our full squad on the court for most of the season, we’ll certainly be giving some of the top sides a run for their money.”
“While the A-grade squad is incredibly strong, we’ll be looking for opportunities to keep developing our younger players at a high level and building for a strong future.
“We’re all set to go for a big season."
