Richmond’s wheelchair team will face Hawthorn to start its 2025 VWFL campaign at the State Netball Hockey Centre from 8:00pm tonight.
The reigning premiers are on the hunt for their third consecutive Robert Rose Premiership Cup, with the Tigers recruiting two new players during the off-season.
Shannan Sykes from St Kilda has joined the side, bringing a wealth of leadership and experience, whilst Colin Murphy will also look to make his debut, named in the Community Division side.
Sustainability and Inclusion Lead, Gabrielle McKeown, said the playing group has been working hard to get themselves ready for Round 1.
“We are very excited for the 2025 season,” McKeown said.
“Our list is looking a little different this year, but we are thrilled with our new coach in Miranda Charlton, and we can’t wait for the season to get underway.
“Our group has been putting in a lot of hours, and we feel really ready for Round 1 this Friday.”
