NSW Blues 2008

 

With an average age of 21, the Netball NSW Blues may well be the surprise packets of the Australian Netball League. Boasting seven current NSWIS scholarship holders, this team is full of young talent who will go ahead in leaps in bounds when exposed to the higher level competition on a regular basis.

Leading the way for the Blues in the goal shooting department will be Breeana Powell. Powell got a taste of the action in the Commonwealth Bank Trophy in 2007 with the Hunter Jaegers and has since gone on to secure a spot in the NSWIS squad. A feature in NSW teams since 2006, Breeana is a skilful player who is deadly accurate in goals.

 

Kelly Pepper and Ashleigh Brazill will also form key components to the Blues line up. Both are experienced mid-court players who were rewarded for their hard work and impressive performances with selection in the 2008 NSWIS squad.

 

With youth and enthusiasm on their side, the Blues will be a team to watch as they progress through the competition.
