Giants Superstar Sophie Dwyer Coming To Forbes This Sunday

August 24, 2023 by Roxane Manley

Sophie Dwyer is a rising star of the Australian Diamonds and one of the most exciting players to watch in the Suncorp Super Netball League.

The Forbes Netball committee is extremely excited to be presenting the Forbes Netball NetSetGo and Junior Mixed Gala day on this Sunday 27th August. 

This day will be a regional Gala Day with teams coming from many of the associations across the area, as well as lots of Forbes players new and existing. It is the first NetSetGo Regional Gala Day organised in the West/Central West, and the day is heavily supported by Netball NSW.

Players from ages 6-9 years will play NSG rules round robin, and ages 10-12 years will be playing in the competition round robin.

The day will also host an exciting visitor, with Suncorp Super Netball League (SSN) Giants superstar Sophie Dwyer attending.

Sophie made her debut in the SSN for the Giants in 2020, with a breakout season in 2021, and was awarded the SSN Rising Star Award that same year. Sophie has also been selected into the Origin Australian Diamond 19 player squad 2023/2024, from where the final 12 players where selected to play in the World Cup in South Africia recently.

The day is starting off with a coaching session run by former Australian Diamond Susan Pettit at 9am. This coaching session will be free for all participants and is being organised and supported by NNSW.

Players do not have to register with NNSW to play on the day, and new players who would like to try the great game of netball are also all encouraged to take advantage of the free clinic.

Players must register individually into the Susan Pettit coaching clinic by Saturday scanning the QR code on FNA Facebook, and register either as a team or individually to the FNA secretary email secretary.forbesnetball@gmail.com 

The Gala Day will start at 10:30am.
