Netball South has named a training squad for next year’s Beko national league. A couple of trials of 40 netballers took place over the past few weeks before the squad was reduced to 17 players. The Netball South team for next year has plenty of living up to do. The Beko league is a tier down from the new semi-professional domestic league introduced to replace the ANZ Championship. Southern training squad: Aliyah Dunn (Invercargill), Ashleigh Smith (Eastern Southland), Bethany Robertson (Dunedin), Dani Gray (Dunedin), Ella Brown (Eastern Southland) Georgia Heffernan, Kate Heffernan (Dunedin), Hayley Crofts (Invercargill), Kiana Pelasio (Dunedin) Krishanee Tamou (Eastern Southland), Mariah Nelson (Dunedin), Olivia Bates (Dunedin), Penny Mouat (Dunedin), Ngawai Eyles (Invercargill), Sophie Erwood (Dunedin), Tarryn Dickson (Dunedin), Zoey Flockton (Dunedin).
