Women's coach Haydn Kirkwood said his side possess some strong shooting and the ability to create from the perimeter.

"Our versatility will be one of our strengths with all players being able to shoot and also play off the dribble from the perimeter," he said.

"The level of competition and athletic ability demonstrated by the athletes involved was encouraging to see after last year's unpredictable playing environment.
