Four Vixens to take on Jamaica Series
The Origin Australian Diamonds have assembled their side that will take on the Sunshine Girls.
World No1. Ranked Origin Australian Diamonds have selected their 12-athlete team for the upcoming test against the No.3 ranked Sunshine Girls, with four Vixens to star.
The Diamonds last played Jamacia in the 2023 Netball World Cup, winning 57-54 in an intense semifinal, but this test series marks the first time the pair have met in a standalone series since 2011.
Dynamic goaling duo Kiera Austin and Sophie Garbin will be spotted under the ring, with Jo Weston at the opposite end in defense, while Vixens captain and Diamonds vice-captain Kate Moloney will feature in the midcourt.
Kate Moloney is poised to reach 50 international appearances, with test two marking the milestone if selected across the series.
Vixens fans can watch the team in action live on the international stage:
Game 1 – Thursday 5 February
Adelaide Entertainment Centre
Game 2 – Sunday 8 February
RAC Arena, Perth
John Cain Area, Melbourne
Game 3 – Wednesday
John Cain Area, Melbourne 11 February
“After a strong international test series against South Africa and New Zealand last year, I am excited to see what the team can bring out onto the court against world No.3 ranked Jamacia,” said Australian Diamonds head coach Stacey Marinkovich.
“Coming up against Jamacia will be a significant test as we continue to build towards this year’s pinnacle event the Commonwealth Games.
“We hope to see packed stadiums in Adelaide, Perth and Melbourne as we set our sights on Glasgow.”
