Kadina keen for the new season Players came in droves keen to wear a Kadina dress this season. President Carolyn Neumann said the club had 80-90 player registrations. “Registrations and trials were held in February, with good numbers for all senior and junior grades,” she said. “Senior trials were over run over a two-week period, where an A/B and C/D squad were chosen, and they have been training for the past few weeks. “All teams look to be competitive which is great to see.” The club had an abundance of players in F, G and H grades. “We have unfortunately had to trial the girls,” Carolyn said. “The club has done its best to get as many girls in teams and out on court as possible. “All juniors have started training and I’m sure they are all very excited for the first game!” The club hopes to continue its strong junior program, with numerous players representing the club at higher levels in 2016. “Sophie Adams was selected in the YPNA under 15 association team, and Jessie Miller in the B grade association team. “We also had several junior club players — Saraya Mercer, Eliza Monger, Tiana Rogers and Sophie Venning — who were involved in SAPSASA netball.” Kadina has been well supported

by its sponsors and has already been fundraising for the year, holding a successful movie night in February. “We hope to do a few more fundraisers throughout the year to set us up for the big move indoors next year — we are still in the process of planning and relocating our netball courts but will be playing indoors as of next season which is super exciting!” Carolyn said. Kadina is thankful for support from the RAA through its Regional Safety Grant, which the club won last year. “Through this grant we now have four new netball post protectors, which look fantastic with the RAA logo, and we were also able to purchase two new first aid kits,” Carolyn said. “We were in desperate need of this equipment, and we thank RAA for its support.”

A grade dark horse team and why? Cougars — girls returning from maternity leave will complement their young talent coming through.
Up-and-coming junior players at your club and why? Sophie Adams, Jaimee Luck.
Coach’s comments How has preseason gone? It’s been good, numbers have been okay and we’re averaging 20 or so every session in Kadina and 14 in Adelaide. It’s been reasonably tough and they’ve done a fair bit of running. We’ve had a full internal trial and one trial game against Blyth/Snowtown. We have the new logo for a new era, and a fresh new look on field, but the five local lads returning to play footy at home is probably as big a news as any.

What are your expectations for this season? We want to push ourselves up the ladder. We finished the minor round in fourth last year and then won our first final before bowing out. We’re eying off a finish in that top three this year so we get the double chance. Who will be the team to beat, and who could be a dark horse? Moonta will be the team to beat again and Wallaroo the dark horse, the Bulldogs seem to have recruited well.
Coaches: A grade, Daniel Flowers; B grade, Tim Neumann; senior colts, Nick Bruce; junior colts, Shane Adams. Saying hello: Giles Ellis, Woodville-West Torrens; Brendan Papps, Nelson Ellis, Fraser Ellis, Ben Young, Prince Alfred; Josh Willis, Adelaide Uni; Jared Seal, Jamestown-Peterborough.
