After a rousing success against Euroa in 2023 which brought Echuca’s A-grade side a much-desired flag, the roles were reversed in 2024 with the girls in green suffering grand final heartbreak against the Magpies.
So, heading into 2025, what can we expect from the high-flying Murray Bombers?
Well, it is business as usual for Belinda Lees and her squad of perennial contenders and despite a bit of personnel reshuffle, all seems to be going smoothly.
“We just kicked off and finalised teams last week, we’ve been back training together and it's been really good, there is a great feel around the place,” Lees said.
“We will look to improve our depth across the court and try different options, we want to be competitive come finals time and see what we can do.
Echuca will have three A-grade debutants in its squad this year, Rose Byrne, Emma Head and Lily Taylor, who have made the move from juniors into the top flight of the GVL.
“We will try and support them and bolster their confidence and see how they’ll develop across the season,” she said.
“All three are very excited and It's nice to have an injection of youth into our team, we still have our experienced players through the court but It's nice for them to bring the energy.”
