Falcons duo named Magpies training partners

City West Falcons duo Zoe Davies and Montana Holmes have been named training partners for Collingwood’s Super Netball team for a second straight year.

The pair return as training partners along with Casey Adamson, while Olivia Wilkinson joins the club for the first time.

Davies made her Super Netball debut this season due to illness and injury to squad members and didn’t look out of place when she got her opportunity.

For the Falcons, she was again a star in defence winning the grand final most valuable player award for the second time.

Holmes was also a key for the Falcons in their premiership run, dominating in the middle of the court.

She is yet to make her Super Netball debut.

Both played for Collingwood’s Australian Netball Championship side this year.

Wilkinson is a 190cm goaler who showed promising signs throughout the ANC tournament and during the Victorian Netball League season with her home club, the Peninsula Waves.

Hailing from Boroondara Express in the VNL, Adamson offers great versatility through the midcourt with great agility and a strong defensive mindset.

Collingwood’s netball general manager Amie Quirk congratulated the four athletes on their selection.

“We’re delighted to welcome back Montana, Casey and Zoe and to also have Olivia join our SSN program for the 2023 season,” she said.

“All four are young talented players who have a lot to offer our program and we are excited to watch them continue to develop and grow.”
