COACHING changes for last season’s netball premiers Wedderburn and for Boort, which finished third, have added extra spice to the teams’ fierce North Central rivalry.
The all-conquering Redbacks have local legend Susie Lockhart stepping into the A Grade coaching position, replacing her second cousin Emma Lockhart.
Wedderburn’s premiership in 2024 was its 30th in 70 years of North Central netball, and while they have lost some stars have also recruited well.
They also have veteran Maddi Postle returning, this year as captain.
The trophy defence begins at Sea Lake Nandaly Tigers, who finished sixth last season.
Boort will be coached by the indefatigable Carly Isaac, who takes over from Georgia Haw.
Isaac is a brilliant netballer alongside being a marathon runner and twice winner of the iconic Queen of the Mountain title at Mt Wycheproof.
The Magpies are away at St Arnaud in the first round, who finished last in 2024. Boort should start the season well.
