BGH Breakers completed the 2025 STNA winter netball with three teams competing in the U11 and U13 rosters, and one team making it through to finals.

U11 coach Tonytah Lawless said she couldn’t be more proud of the teams. “From their dedication at training to encouraging each other on game day, and navigating what it means to be a great teammate, their development as players and their growth as individuals has been amazing,” says Tonytah.

BGH Breakers has been established as one club for all sports in Bridgewater, Gagebrook and Herdsmans Cove (BGH). In late 2024, in conjunction with local schools, Netball Tasmania and AYC Netball Club, BGH Breakers put out a call for children interested in learning to play netball through a ‘Come & Try’ netball program. “We were blown away by the level of interest in the introductory netball sessions and so excited to be able to field one U13 team and two U11 teams in the Southern Tasmania Netball Association winter competition,” says BGH Breaker director Scott Wade.

“We would like to thank Brighton Council for their ongoing commitment to BGH Breakers and the importance of providing free sporting opportunities for local children and young people,” adds Scott. “Thank you also to Contact Group who helped us purchase netball uniforms that the players helped design.”

BGH Breakers will now look to participate in the spring netball competition, before expanding into basketball and soccer. If you would like to know more or get involved, head to facebook. com/BGHbreakers or email bghbreakers@gmail.com.
