Round 13 team announcement
The Melbourne Vixens will welcome defender Kate Eddy back from injury for their clash with West Coast Fever on Sunday, two weeks out from Suncorp Super Netball finals.
Eddy sustained a lower leg injury against the NSW Swifts which has sidelined the versatile defender since Round 5.
“It’s exciting for us to welcome Kate back ahead of our finals campaign,” said General Manager High Performance & Pathways, Megan Simpson.
“Kate brings important versatility and established connections in our defensive end, she’s been completing full training sessions and match play simulation with the group and it will be great to see her back in the ten come game day.”
Currently sitting atop the Super Netball ladder, the Vixens are one game clear of the Adelaide Thunderbirds and West Coast Fever in a battle for the right to host the major semi final.
The Vixens host the Fever at John Cain Arena on Sunday afternoon in the second instalment of the league’s annual First Nations Round, aligning with NAIDOC Week celebrations.
