Coffs Suns women’s player Felicity Cook said it was a good mix of senior and junior players this season. “We’ve had a bit of player unavailability during the season each game, but overall, I’m really happy with how the group is progressing,” she said. “It’s a new look senior side, and the first time playing together as a unit. “We went down on the road against Ballina but a loss can be a good learning curve too. “Our young girls are stepping up into seniors nicely and showing more confidence every game. “Our more experienced players are leading the group well, and it’s a really nice balance and mix of players and personalities. “We are just having some fun which is what it’s all about. “It’s also really nice to see a few of our past juniors and senior players back on the court after a little break.” By Aiden BURGESS
