The best thing about a new season is that it’s a clean slate.
A horror 2024 for Benalla which saw the Saints go without a win is in the rear-view mirror, with the win-loss record reset for 2025.
Chloe Hill makes a return to Benalla this season, the club she made her A-grade debut for at just 15, in a bid to help the Saints put some wins on the board.
“We can only really improve, so that’s the goal, to get close to a couple of teams and get a few wins out of (in 2025),” Hill said when speaking after her appointment was announced.
While not a part of the group that took to the court last year, Hill said there was a feeling among the players that success - in the form of victories - wasn’t too far away, and that tweaking a few things could prove fruitful.
“That was the general consensus last year, they got close to a lot of teams, just not close enough, so hopefully we can learn from a few things and get there,” she said.
With nothing to lose, the Saints will look to put their best foot forward from the jump, with their season getting underway with a trip to Princess Park to take on the Swans in round one.
