The Bulleen Boomers are only one day away from the start of their WNBL campaign for 2009/10, the 25th season for the club.
The arrival of Rachel Jarry to the Boomers squad last Saturday marked the completion of Bulleen’s roster.
It was the first training session the full team has had together, as they race to prepare for their first game on Saturday 3rd October.
Finishing Runners-Up last season, the team underwent some significant changes in the off season.
With the addition of Head Coach Tom Maher and a new look roster, Bulleen are looking to go one step further this year and bring home the Championship.
Despite limited preparation time together, both the coaching staff and players cannot wait for the season ahead.
“I’m feeling as excited as I have ever felt before a WNBL season.” said Head Coach Tom Maher.
“The team did wonderfully well last year, so it’s my job to make sure they continue at such a high standard.
“I believe we can do that, because we have recruited well and the whole team is really committed to Bulleen.”
Club stalwarts Sharin Milner, Desi Glaubitz, Kylie Reid, Elyse Penaluna, Anna Crosswhite and Lisa Pardon are back this season, and will be competing alongside the young and talented Boomers recruits.
Headlined by Opals squad members Elizabeth Cambage and Jenna O’Hea, other newcomers include Rachel Jarry, who was the Gems second leading scorer at the recent World Championships and Hanna Zavecz.
Co Captain Desi Glaubitz is thrilled about the way the team has come together.
“The depth we have been able to recruit, compliments the Grand Final talent of last year.
“I feel for the first time in many years we have a lot of depth.” she said.
Boomers and Opals representative, Elyse Penaluna is also looking forward to the new look attack.
“The biggest difference is that it’s going to be a lot more exciting to watch us play, with the likes of Cambage, Jarry, O’Hea and Zavecz joining the team.” she said.
The Boomers also have four young players in their squad, Olivia Deiana, Lauren Pearce, Nicole Goodridge and Lauren Jeffers, who have come up from the clubs Under 18 team, and have been playing in their Big V and Youth League teams.
Jessie Gourlay from the Nunawading Spectres, rounds out the Bulleen squad of 15 players.
