Tegan Williams earns Bendigo Pioneers selection

The elite junior pathway competition this year switched from an under 16 and under 18 competition to under 17 and under 19.

Pioneers head coach Damian Truslove said it would be good for the young players to return to training.

“We are excited to get these girls back playing football, having fun and learning new skills in order to develop their football, and hopefully take their football to the next level,” Truslove said.

“Like any squad, players that are excelling outside this squad in local league football have the opportunity to be included throughout the season.

“As well, the players that have already been selected that don’t meet expectations may be released back to local football.”

Williams will be joined by Madison Elliot and Jayda Richardson from Moama and Echuca in the squad.

The NAB League is set to resume in February, in line with both the VFLW and AFLW competitions.
