Harvey Norman Jillaroos squad to face Kiwi Ferns

Harvey Norman Australian Jillaroos Coach Brad Donald has named his side for the Pacific Championships Cup Final against the New Zealand Kiwi Ferns on Sunday, November 10 at CommBank Stadium, Parramatta.

“The team has worked extremely hard over the past 12 months and is keen to make amends for last year’s defeat,” Donald said.

“While we were happy with the result in Christchurch, we have been working hard on a number of areas to ensure the team is better this weekend. We know the Kiwi Ferns came into last year’s final with the benefit of some continuity and Sunday will present the same situation for us.

“Our girls have worked hard in all areas, both on and off the field to ensure we put an even better performance in for Sunday’s final.”
