The club has reappointed football coach Cam van Florestein, with the young Bombers looking to make their way back to the finals after a down year in 2019.

Van Florestein said his young side would be aiming to play finals for the season.

“It's what you should always be aiming for as a club,” van Florestein said.

“We've got a really good group who were making a lot of progress before the season shut down last season, and they've come back with the same attitude they had last year.

“We've picked up a few new players and they will add a bit to the side. It's a good feeling around the club, the boys are setting themselves strong goals and we hope to see a strong season.”

Netball coach Ash Bradley will also return, joined by Kate Donehue, as their team looks to fight its way up the ladder.

The side finished third last in 2019, but had already identified a new direction with its new coach, new players and a desire to be at the top end of the table.

It will be an important season for both sides.
