Welcome Back Swan Hill 

After a long pre season it will ne great to get back on the netball court and footy field this Saturday!  The club will field 8 netball teams and 4 football teams each week as well as 2 girls footy teams in 2025.  The club will also play an U10s match when required as well as run our very popular Netta and Auskick programs once again.  The club loves providing the opportunity for over 200 kids and young men and women to participate in sport on a weekly basis.

Our netball numbers in the juniors are once again very strong.  We thank the coaches who have taken on the responsibility to coach our young girls this season – Casey Frame, Jade Hunter, Emily Patterson, and Jenna Jenkins..  Our senior netball teams have undergone some change year to year but as always will be very competitive on the court this year.  Our senior coaching group will be led by Casey Frame with assistance from Emily Patterson and Jade Hunter.  The senior group were very successful last year with all making finals and 2 premierships and looking forward to hitting the court on Saturday.  We welcome all of our new players to the club!

Like netball our junior football numbers are also strong and have been training hard and will all be looking to a good showing in 2025 aiming to go back to back in the colts and going one better in the U15s.  Thank you to our coaches – Jon Hirst & Dale Baulch (U12), Pat Caldwell & Lee Brown (U15) and colts coaches Mick Clohesy with assistants Scott Brown and Shannon Polglase.  Our Swancademy will also run again in 2025 which is a fantastic initiative for the development of our young players..  Our senior squad has gone through a change but we welcome a number of new players to the club.  Big thanks to Michael Herlihy who has taken on the senior coaching role again in 2025 with Will Simpson and club legend Anthony Foott his assistants. Thanks also to Matt Hayward and Pat Conlan who are taking charge of the reserves this year.

Over the off season the club has been busy with the staging of the Brew and Chew festival in November which was a great success as well as the inaugural junior netball tournament which also was a great success. 

We thank our sponsors who have come on board again in 2025 and a big thanks to all of our volunteers.  We cant put our sides out without our wonderful volunteers and we thank you for your assistance.

Our social calendar looks exciting again in 2025 and we look forward to making some exciting announcements as a club throughout the season.

The SHFNC wish all sides in the CMFNL all the best for season 2025!
