Pakenham’s Eliza Molino and Warragul’s Sienna Green have been rewarded for fantastic seasons in the Victorian Netball League (VNL) with the former Gippsland Storm players earning 19-Under Team of the Year selection.
Molino and Green play for Hawks netball in the elite VNL competition, with both following a proven pathway from Gippsland Storm to the Hawks.
The two clubs have built a strong connection in recent years with many Storm players progressing to the brown and gold of the Hawks.
Molino was selected as one of four defenders in the team of the year, while Green capped off an amazing season with selection in an elite group through the midcourt.
Green was also announced as the 19-Under MVP at the awards, after an outstanding season for the Hawks’ captain.
With five best on court performances, her explosive speed and decision making played a pivotal role in her side’s 11 wins and top-four finish.
Molino also had a an inspiring 2023, with invitations to camps at the AIS in Canberra and the Vixens Development Squad.
“Sienna and Eliza both played for Storm as juniors, and we wish them all the best as they travel through their netball journey,” said Storm life member Mike Spain.
Storm’s tryouts for season 2024, possibly in late October early November 2023, will be confirmed shortly.
