The team features a strong mixture of youth and experience with seven of the ten NT players having come through the 17 & Under and 19 & Under program in recent years. We have a strong Alice Springs contingent with Lucy Nicolai, Brooke & Carly Wilson and Molly Southam all playing for the Territory previously at the National Netball Championships.
"It’s great seeing NT back in this competition pathway, this team is an amazing reflection of all the hard work and resilience NT athletes hold and a great chance to showcase our talent against some of the best". Molly Southam - Athlete, Alice Springs
Meanwhile the Darwin training group features some of our more experienced athletes with the likes of Chelsea Coleman, Brittany Daly and ex AFLW player Jasmyn Hewett providing strong leadership both on and off the court. Aaliyah Bailey also joins the Darwin group while Kiera Heffernan from Alice Springs now living in Brisbane and recently returned from the Netball Australia development camp round out our Territory group.
“Reinstating the Territory Storm is an important step in the NT pathway opening further high-performance opportunities for both NT athletes and coaches. The 2023 Territory Storm will feature ten (10) NT athletes and a former AFLW player who will come together and represent the NT in ANC”. Pam Franklin - Pathways Manager
This exciting group of athletes will be joined by Victorian players Ally O’Connor and Sarah Szczykulski. Both these players bring a wealth of VNL and previous ANL/ANC experience with them having played with the Victorian Fury and Collingwood Magpies.
"Our Darwin and Alice Springs athletes have been working hard and are looking forward to showcasing their skills come August". Penny Shearer - Head Coach
The ANC Championships will take place from 21-27 August at Morayfield Sports and Events Centre in Brisbane's North. Matches will be available to watch live, on-demand and free via Kayo Freebies.
