Team announcements (posted 16 October 2025)
Hi All,
Here, courtesy of our State Team Co-ordinator, Nathan Whelan, and Development Officer, Grace Wells, are the team lists for the Juniors and Seniors Tasmanian teams for the upcoming 2026 Nationals in January on the Gold Coast. Grace did the wonderful artwork.
Congratulations to All who were selected!
Also, any Women aged 35 or over who are interested in playing in a Womens Masters team of another State then please contact Nathan at [email protected]
He will then pass on your interest and information to the relevant bodies that are currently sourcing athletes. Tasmania will not be fielding a Masters Womens team for these Nationals but hopefully we can raise one for the 2027 Nationals in Hobart!
