Sophie Dwyer is a rising star on the Australian Diamonds scene where she already has 4 caps, and is a member of the 19 player Australian Diamond squad 2023/2024.
The Forbes Netball Association recently held an extremely successful regional NetSetGo and Junior Mixed Gala Day with Suncorp Super Netball Giants Superstar Sophie Dwyer attending the day. Teams travelled from Bathurst, Orange, Young, Narromine and Parkes to join all the Forbes players for a great day of junior netball.
The day opened with 100 players booked in to former Australian Diamond Susan Pettit’s clinic, with Susan setting the scene for a fantastic and fun day of netball for players aged from 6 years to 12 years.
This was the first time a player Sophie Dwyer’s calibre has attended a carnival this far into the region. Sophie was very popular on the day, as her fans gathered around for autographs and chats. Sophie is a rising star on the Australian Diamonds scene where she already has four caps, and is a member of the 19 player Australian Diamond squad 2023/2024.
Sophie and Susan were accompanied on the day by Netball NSW Regional Manager Brooke Berg, and Development Officer Emily Williams.
Thank you also to Forbes Shire Council for preparing Stephen Field courts for the day.
