FOUR-TIME premiership player Emma Lockhart will coach Wedderburn’s A Grade netballers in the new North Central season.
Emma, who played wing in last year’s premiers and champion side, is excited to take on the top role at the club where she has played all her netball.
“They are big shoes to fill after Meg Lowry but I’m lucky to have so many locals and a B Grade team - also premiers and champions last year - with players now having an opportunity to step up,” she said.
Emma believes the Redbacks’ strength in the senior grades will help cover the loss of goalkeeper Lara Judd who has headed to Kangaroo Flat, and second cousin Meg and defender Maddi Postle who will be unavailable with new parent duties expected in the next few months. Shelley deAraugo is yet to commit to 2023.
“Our success has been built on Meg’s enthusiasm and excitement for the game. We’ll be trying to keep that gloing.”
Emma will also coach B Grade with Georgia Fry. Georgia and Grace Lockhart will share C Grade duties.
